But the promise is still there, and that's the important part. Right?
There's something brewing in Washington. Unfortunately, brewing is often a drawn-out process, so Wizards fans still need to look toward the future instead of being too caught up in the present. Kyshawn George has been thrilling to start the year, Alex Sarr is the dominant post presence the team hoped he'd be, and Tre Johnson looks like he'll have no trouble scoring in the NBA.
And still, the Wizards are 1-5 and another long season may be in store for fans who have watched about six of those in a row.
