"Alex Sarr is proving that he very well can be a building block for the Wizards to move forward building around with his sophomore leap to start the season. Kyshawn George has emerged as a rising star that can be another supporting piece for the Wizards rebuild. Tre Johnson has shown flashes of why Washington selected him with the No. 6 overall pick this offseason, especially in regards to his scoring upside,"
"Carrington's sophomore slump comes down to a less concerning but more confusing change to his game. Meanwhile, Whitmore's early season struggles have come down to mostly the bizarre fact that the same issue that haunted him in Houston have remained to plague him in Washington. That issue? Himself .Whitmore has struggled to begin the season becausse of his inability to adapt and focus on the team's success rather than his own."
"Nonetheless, Whitmore finally put it all together in the team's recent loss against the Dallas Mavericks, finishing the matchup with 19 points, and three rebounds, while shooting 53.8% from field goal range and 50% from beyond the arc. In 29 minutes of play, the versatile forward showed flashes of exactly why the team's front office was determined to swing a trade for him this offseason."
