Kyshawn George becoming the player critics never thought Wizards could develop

The Washington Wizards haven't exactly created a reputation for themselves as a good developmental team.

In fact, Washington's recent stretch of swing and misses when it pertains to the NBA Draft has given the team the exact opposite reputation when it comes to the development of young prospects.

Considering the fact that former Wizards lottery pick Deni Avdija blossomed when he departed the organization and the overwhelming fact that not a single draft pick has exactly blossomed since arriving in Washington don't exactly help the narrative that the team can't develop.

Unfortunately, those narratives may have to take a backseat after this season, especially after the recent emergence of sophomore players Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George.
