"The additions of Tre Johnson, Will Riley and Cam Whitmore headline a variety of moves this offseason that have only added excitement about what Brian Keefe's squad may look like when the season begins, Not to mention the acquisition of CJ McCollum this offseason adds to the hope that another veteran mentor alongside Khris Middleton could be the keys to a breakout season for one of the young prospects already on the Wizards roster."
"Kyshawn George showed plenty of flashes of what he had to offer as a rookie last season. As a former first-round pick, with raw talent and a seemingly very high upside, it was easy to see why the Wizards took a swing on the Miami product's upside. As an oversized guard with great size, underrated playmaking and a developing jumper, George looked to be at the very least a lock to develop into a reliable role player in Washington."
The Washington Wizards added Tre Johnson, Will Riley and Cam Whitmore and acquired CJ McCollum, aiming to blend veteran mentorship with young talent. Veteran presence alongside Khris Middleton increases expectations that a young prospect could experience a breakout season. Top young candidates include Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Cam Whitmore and previously Bilal Coulibaly, whose EuroBasket injury creates an unexpected opening. Kyshawn George emerged as a candidate after showing rookie flashes, improved shooting in Summer League and familiarity with Brian Keefe's system. George’s size, playmaking and developing jumper position him to seize an expanded role this year.
