"The Washington Wizards have had a difficult season, but they're trending in the right direction right now, having won four of their last seven games. One of the biggest positive trends has been the continued strong play of Tre Johnson, who looks like a player with true star potential. Johnson has proven his abilities as a shooter and overall offensive player and shown flashes of an exciting ceiling over his first two months as a professional."
"He's a special movement shooter, and his output has Wizards fans feeling like they went from draft lottery disappointment to getting a real steal. It's obvious that Tre already looks very comfortable in an NBA setting. He comes off screens naturally and shows the kind of timing and efficiency that a lot of young guards struggle to develop. Washington's offense already looks more fluid when he's on the floor, and that's not something that happens by accident."
"Johnson's off-ball movement has also made life easier for the rest of the roster. Defenses are already forced to stay attached to him due to his range, and that opens driving lanes for the Wizards' primary ball-handlers and creates cleaner looks for bigs in pick-and-roll actions. Even on nights when his shot isn't falling at an elite rate, his gravity is still providing real value. That's a rare trait for a rookie on a rebuilding team."
The Washington Wizards have struggled this season but have recently won four of seven games. Tre Johnson has played strongly and shows true star potential as a shooter and offensive creator. He moves exceptionally off the ball, comes off screens naturally, and displays timing and efficiency rare among young guards. Johnson’s shooting range forces defenders to stay close, opening driving lanes for primary ball-handlers and creating cleaner pick-and-roll looks for bigs. Even when his shot is off, his gravity provides tangible value. Defensive fundamentals remain a work in progress, though he shows effort navigating screens and competing physically while learning.
