"The Wizards also have a stable crop of young players in Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Justin Champagnie, Kyshawn George, A.J. Johnson, Malaki Branham and Corey Kispert, among others. The Wizards also ridded themselves of Jordan Poole's disastrous contract in a four-player package in exchange for veteran guard C.J. McCollum, a quality veteran who will be good for their aforementioned core."
"They went 18-64 last year after going 15-67. But if nobody will say it, I will: I like what Washington's building. A lot of that revolves around rookie Tre Johnson, who was the No. 4 prospect on my board heading into this year's draft. He's a lights-out scorer, a tireless worker and an improving playmaker and defender. Washington's entire offense should (and likely will) revolve around him at some point."
Washington finished with franchise-worst records in consecutive seasons, going 15-67 and 18-64. The roster additions include Cam Whitmore, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III and Dillon Jones, while veterans such as C.J. McCollum, Jordan Poole, Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon departed. Tre Johnson, a high-scoring, improving playmaker and defender, projects to be the offensive focal point. The team retains young pieces including Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Justin Champagnie and Corey Kispert. The front office exchanged Poole's contract for C.J. McCollum to add veteran stability. The roster emphasizes perimeter shooting, versatile defense and positional size, but further work remains.
