"It's hard not to be excited about the upside the former Texas star brings to the Wizards, especially looking at how dynamic of a scorer he was during his freshman season with the Longhorns. Not only is Johnson an electric scorer with the ability to make any shot on the floor, but his next-level finishing around the rim, mixed with his act for getting to his spot at will makes him a nightmare to defend."
"Whether he's creating his own shot with the ball in his hand or rolling off screens and finding a way to get open off the ball, Johnson will be an absolute weapon for the Wizards to utilize this coming season. In fact, he could be the instant scoring replacement for Jordan Poole right away, especially if Brian Keefe prioritizes getting him the ball in a hurry."
"For starters, Johnson's next-level scoring doesn't take away from the fact that if he's not able to improve his game as a playmaker, it could hinder how good of a player he could be. Despite that, his will to improve adds confidence that his work ethic will allow for him to take the steps necessary to improve his game. Though, even his weaknesses could be overlooked if he's able to master his offensive game as a scorer."
The Washington Wizards expect rookie guard Tre Johnson to provide significant scoring punch and upside. Johnson is an electric scorer who can make any shot, features next-level finishing around the rim, and consistently gets to his preferred spots, making him difficult to guard. He can create off the dribble or roll off screens to score, and he could step in as an instant scoring replacement for Jordan Poole if coached to receive the ball quickly. Johnson needs to improve as a playmaker to reach his full potential, but his work ethic and film study of elite guards suggest capacity for growth.
