In the comments to reporters, Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins indicated that the franchise is firmly in its 'deconstruction' phase, acknowledging the reality of another likely poor season.
The team's strategy focuses on being intentionally bad to maximize their potential in the upcoming NBA draft lottery, aiming for a franchise-level talent by the end of the decade.
The past drafts have given the Wizards players like Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr, who, while possessing good athleticism, still remain uncertain as future building blocks for the team.
The importance of giving younger players like Coulibaly more opportunities to make plays and mistakes was emphasized, as veterans were seen to preclude valuable growth during a lost season.
