"The Washington Wizards have quietly turned things around throughout the start of the new year. Washington has seemingly put their early season struggles in the rear view and over the last handful of games, Brian Keefe's squad has proven to not only be a legitimate challenge for opposing teams, but they've proven to be more than capable of knocking any team off on any given night."
"Part of the reason for the Wizards newfound success has been the emergence of rookie Tre Johnson, who's become a focal part of the team's offense over the last few weeks. Johnson, who was selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft this offseason, started the season off slowly as he adjusted to his new role at the next level."
The Washington Wizards have reversed an early-season slide and have become a legitimate challenge, winning several recent games. Rookie Tre Johnson has emerged as a focal point of the offense after a slow start while adjusting to the NBA. Johnson was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 draft and was the primary scoring option during his freshman year at Texas. Coaching prioritized his decisiveness and increased his involvement, placing him in nearly every offensive set. Johnson's improved aggression and shotmaking have driven the team's momentum and created the potential for impactful performances down the stretch.
