"Between the acquisitions of four-time All-Star Trae Young and future Hall of Famer Anthony Davis, it's become clear that the Wizards have their eyes on competing in the Eastern Conference sooner rather than later. However, within those moves, the team has created several open roster spots that they've worked tirelessly to fill over the last several weeks."
"Reese, who went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, spent the start of his NBA career with the Raptors 905, the G-League affiliate for the Toronto Raptors. Averaging 8.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 62.1% shooting from field goal range in 24 games, the former Terrapin impressed the Wizards' front office enough for the team to move quickly at the opportunity to add him."
"At 6-foot-9, the 22-year-old has plenty of potential that the Wizards feel with the right development they'll be able to tap into. Julian Reese is yet another DMV native to join Wizards in the offseason, the Wizards took a swing on potential with the acquisition of former first-round pick and Maryland native Cam Whitmore."
The Washington Wizards have been highly active in roster construction under general manager Will Dawkins and President Michael Winger. Following major acquisitions of four-time All-Star Trae Young and Anthony Davis, the team has worked to fill multiple open roster spots. Recent moves include waiving Dante Exum, signing two-way players Tristan Vukcevic and Jamir Watkins, and letting 10-day contracts expire. The Wizards signed undrafted Maryland product Julian Reese to a two-way contract with the Capital City Go-Go. Reese averaged 8.7 points and 7.8 rebounds on 62.1% shooting in 24 G-League games. At 6-foot-9 and 22 years old, Reese represents another DMV native joining the organization alongside Cam Whitmore.
