The Trae Young move that could save the Wizards or set them back years

"The Washington Wizards rebuild hasn't exactly gone how either the fanbase or the front office could have dreamed when the team finally decided to hit the restart button. Washington has done a great job landing talented prospects, especially when considering the cards they were dealt courtesy of the team's historic bad luck. Despite that, one position in particular the Wizards have failed to address is arguably the most important position on the court."

"The Wizards entered the season hoping that former lottery pick and second-year man Bub Carrington could be the answer to the team's glaring roster hole, but it took no time for the guard's bizarre start to the regular season to indicate that Washington may not be any closer to solving their issue. With Washington searching for a long-term answer, it doesn't come as a surprise to see the Wizards linked to nearly every point guard that's made available on the trade market."

"Between the likes of LaMelo Ball and Darius Garland, the Wizards were quickly pinned as suitors for both guard's with rumblings about a potential move. However, both players seem like an unrealistic option to land in Washington for a variety of reasons. Nonetheless, the recent rumors about the Atlanta Hawks' desire to move on from Trae Young could present a door that many people would advise the Wizards not to walk in."

"A Trae Young trade could benefit the Wizards more than it hurts There's no denying that Young's defensive limitations and undersized frame is the exact opposite of the blueprint for the type of players Washington has made it a point to prioritize since their rebuild began. At 6-foot-2, the Oklahoma product has his weaknesses with majority of them coming on the defensive side of the court. Offensively though, Young is the exact type of facilitator that could help prospects like Alex"

The Washington Wizards assembled talented prospects despite historic bad luck but continue to lack a dependable point guard. Bub Carrington failed to solidify the role with a bizarre early-season start, leaving a glaring roster hole. Washington has been linked to multiple available point guards, including LaMelo Ball and Darius Garland, though those targets seem unrealistic to acquire. Rumors about the Atlanta Hawks potentially moving Trae Young have generated interest despite Young's defensive limitations and undersized frame. Offensively, Young's elite facilitating could accelerate the development of the Wizards' young scorers and playmakers if acquired.
