"Tre Johnson entered the league with high expectations stemmed from how explosive of a scorer he proved to be during his lone season of college play at Texas. The dynamic guard proved to be arguably the most complete scorer in the entire 2025 NBA Draft class, which alone made the Wizards fanbase believe that he could turn things around for the struggling franchise as a rookie."
"Throughout the early course of the season, head coach Brian Keefe has tried out a handful of different starting lineups looking for the spark that could lead to a winning change for the Wizards. The head coach has shifted the backcourt rotations with the likes of Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly and now Tre Johnson in the starting lineup alongside veteran guard CJ McCollum."
"In his first career start against the Cleveland Cavaliers, his 19-point outing was taken with a grain of salt considering the Wizards fell to the Eastern Conference contenders 148-115. To follow, Johnson's next two starts ended in lackluster performances totaling 19 total points over the the two game stretch. In his three games as a starter, Johnson is averaging 12,6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists, which alone is a bid underwhelm"
