"One player in specific that has added plenty of eyes on Washington is incoming rookie Tre Johnson. Johnson was selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and although the Wizards didn't land a talent like Cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper, the two top names fans were hoping for, he immediately became a fan favorite during Summer League."
"The former Texas star took no time to show why he was considered one of, if not the most complete scorer in the NBA Draft. In summer league play, not only was Johnson the best player on the Wizards, but he proved to be one of the top players on the court on a nightly basis. With his elite level scoring, developing game as a playmaker, great size and overlooked athleticism, Johnson has everything he needs to be a key piece for the Wizards,"
""Working out with [Tre], you see how locked in he is from the start," George said. "That's all he thinks about. Every single rep is to the max. Every rep is game-like.""
The Washington Wizards entered the regular season energized by offseason moves and a promising rookie addition. The team added immediate-impact veterans including CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore to bolster the roster. Rookie Tre Johnson, selected No. 6 overall from Texas, stood out during Summer League and quickly became a fan favorite. Johnson displayed elite scoring, improving playmaking, strong size, and often-overlooked athleticism, suggesting high upside. Teammates and trainers emphasized his intense focus and game-like approach to every rep in workouts. Given the Wizards’ current stage, Johnson could see substantial early playing time and developmental opportunity.
