"Entering his rookie season, Johnson was pinned as a legit candidate to make a run for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, especially following his showing throughout NBA Summer League. However, to start the season, the rookie has dealt with the adjustment of his new role on an NBA team, where he found himself bouncing in-and-out of the starting lineup as head coach BrianKeefe continously altered the team's rotation to start the season."
"Fortunately, with the team's recent point of emphasis to include Johnson more on the offensive end, the guard's confidence has seemingly grown which has allowed for him tio put together some of his best performances of the season as of late. Averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists, while shooting 45.9% from field goal range and 39.6% from beyond the arc, Johnson has proven to be a lethal offensive weapon, specifically his shot-making ability and marksmanship from downtown."
Washington Wizards expect Tre Johnson to develop into a high-impact player. Johnson entered the season as a legitimate NBA Rookie of the Year candidate after a strong Summer League. Early season rotation changes by head coach BrianKeefe, inconsistent starting assignments, injury setbacks and the adjustment to NBA competition slowed Johnson's production. A recent team emphasis on incorporating Johnson more offensively boosted his confidence and produced improved performances. He is averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 45.9 percent overall and 39.6 percent from three. Despite this production, he remains ranked below certain rookies such as Caleb Love.
