Devin Booker may have validated the Wizards' belief in Tre Johnson
"The Washington Wizards have an abundance of young talent on the roster, but as of late, one talent in specifc has began to turn heads. Reigning No. 6 overall pick Tre Johnson began the season rather slowly after adjusting to the NBA game, but over the last few weeks, the explosive guard has seen his confidence grow. With head coach Brian Keefe making it a priority to maximize Johnson's skillset on offense, the rookie has began to finally find his rthym."
"The Wizards have matched up against the Phoneix Suns a couple times over the last week and in each game, Johnson has put together impressive performances. Totaling 24 points on 75% shooting in in the first matchup and 19 points on 53.3% shooting on Sunday, the Wizards young guard has proven just how impactful he can be on the offensive side of the court."
Tre Johnson started the NBA season slowly while adjusting to the professional game, but recent weeks have brought a clear rise in confidence and offensive impact. Head coach Brian Keefe has increased actions to maximize Johnson's skillset, and improved shooting has encouraged more aggressive playmaking. Johnson averages 12.5 points and has shown repeated flashes of the scoring upside that motivated his No. 6 selection, though a full breakout has not yet occurred. Strong outings against the Phoenix Suns featured efficient scoring, and Devin Booker publicly praised Johnson's smoothness, shooting and all-around ability.
