Brian Keefe enters his second year as head coach as the Washington Wizards underwent a busy offseason to reshape their roster. Washington acquired CJ McCollum in a blockbuster trade and then used the draft to secure Tre Johnson at No. 6 overall. The team also traded for Cam Whitmore from the Houston Rockets for a surprisingly low price. Those additions have generated significant hype about what year three of the rebuild could look like. The roster is younger and notably deeper than at the end of the previous season. Washington selected Will Riley at No. 21; he averaged 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in a freshman bench role at Illinois and is listed at six-foot-eight as a guard.
The Washington Wizards have plenty of eyes on them after an offseason full of moves to alter their roster ahead of year two with Brian Keefe at head coach. Washington started the offseason off with a bang landing CJ McCollum in one of the first blockbuster trades across the league just before the NBA Draft. The McCollum news quickly went from head scratching to looking genius when general manager Will Dawkins managed to land Tre Johnson at No, 6 overall in the draft.
Following the conclusion of the draft, Washington continued their summer of moves by taking a swing on potential landing Cam Whitmore in a deal from the Houston Rockets for a shockingly cheap price. With the likes of McCollum, Johnson and Whitmore all incoming, there's plenty of hype around the Wizards roster and what year three of their rebuild could look like. Not only is the roster young, but it's much deeper than it was when the Wizards season came to a close in April.
