The Washington Wizards have made every move necessary to put themselves in perfect position for a young player to emerge as a cornerstone for the franchise.
At least, that's the hope.
Washington drafted the likes of Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyhsawn George and most recent and arguably most notable is the bucket-getter himself Tre Johnson.
In addition to the young core the team drafted, the Wizards general manager Will Dawkins has done his fair share of extra credit work landing multiple talented young players in trades with AJ Johnson, Cam Whitmore and Malaki Branham coming to mind.
