We are two games into the AJ Dybantsa show in Washington, D.C., and it already looks as advertised.
Most No. 1 picks are immediately expected to carry the load of an entire franchise en route to very few wins in their rookie season, but that won't be the case for Dybantsa. Yes, he is the Wizards' future, but he doesn't have all the pressure on him immediately, which will help his long-term development.
The Wizards sit at 3-3 right now; not great, but not bad. Why is this significant? The Wizards haven't reached three wins before December since 2023.
