The Washington Wizards have quietly positioned themselves as one of the most intriguing rebuilding teams in one offseason alone. Looking at the young pieces on the roster, headlined by Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and now Kyshawn George as the top prospects on the roster. And that's not even mentioning players like Bub Carrington, Tristan Vukcevic, Will Riley and newly acquired Cam Whitmore.

Looking at young names like Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington and Kyshawn George, Washington's fanbase have plenty of high upside prospects to keep their eyes on as the season approaches. And that's not even including the likes of newly acquired Cam Whitmore and AJ Johnson, who landed with the Wizards ahead of the NBA trade deadline last February. All that to say, the young talent on the Wizards has provided plenty of optimism about the future of the team's rebuild.

The Washington Wizards rebuild has taken over headlines this offseason. Not only because of the talent the team already had on the roster entering the offseason, but also because of the abundance of talent general manager Will Dawkins has added over the course of the last couple months. With the likes of Tre Johnson and Will Riley joining an already young and talented squad headlined by Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and even AJ Johnson.

Entering the offseason, Beasley was expected to cash in on the open market after putting together a career-year in Detroit. The sharpshooting guard was one of the top candidates to win the Sixth Man of the Year award and was a huge reason for the Pistons' impressive regular season. Beasley averaged 16.3 points, while shooting 43% from field goal range and an extremely efficient 41.6% from beyond the arc.

The Washington Wizards have piled plenty of talent on the roster this offseason. Between veteran additions, a fully loaded incoming rookie class and multiple high upside swings on former first-round picks, general manager Will Dawkins has put in plenty of work. However, the abundance of moves don't mean the general manager's work is finished. In fact, his work is just getting started.

However, from being one of the most uninteresting teams in the league, to one of the most anticipated and fun groups to watch heading into next season, the turnaround for the Wizards can't be overlooked. Over the course of the offseason, Wizards' general manager Will Dawkins has proven that he's not scared to be aggressive and if he feels that a trade will benefit his team, he'll pull the trigger.
