"There's something brewing in Washington. Unfortunately, brewing is often a drawn-out process, so Wizards fans still need to look toward the future instead of being too caught up in the present. Kyshawn George has been thrilling to start the year, Alex Sarr is the dominant post presence the team hoped he'd be, and Tre Johnson looks like he'll have no trouble scoring in the NBA."
"And still, the Wizards are 1-5 and another long season may be in store for fans who have watched about six of those in a row. Striking a balance is key in times like these, and there's reason to believe that a big payoff is coming. But can the Wizards sell fans on that idea? The idea that in a few years, this group might compete?"
Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr, and Tre Johnson have shown promising performances, with George thrilling early, Sarr imposing inside, and Johnson appearing capable of scoring in the NBA. The Wizards sit 1-5 early, suggesting another long season despite young talent. The franchise is entering year three of a deliberate rebuild after front-office moves to gather assets, add veteran talent, and take draft swings. Expectations typically call for a larger leap in year four, but visible improvement in year three is important to convince a skeptical fanbase that the core can eventually win multiple playoff series after a 46-year Eastern Conference Finals drought.
