The Washington Wizards have a chance to take a HUGE step forward this season!
I think THREE things will determine just how successful Washington can be in 2026-27.
1️⃣ HEALTH
Anthony Davis and Trae Young are two of the biggest names on this roster.
But Washington needs its stars AVAILABLE.
If the Wizards can stay healthy, their ceiling is significantly higher.
2️⃣ DEFENSE
Washington has to improve defensively.
With Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, and the team's length and athleticism, the Wizards have the pieces to become a MUCH better defensive team.
Now they have to prove it on the court.
3️⃣ AJ DYBANTSA
How much can Washington expect from its No. 1 overall pick RIGHT AWAY?
Dybantsa has tremendous potential, but he's still a rookie.
The Wizards don't necessarily need him to carry the team immediately.
But if AJ can make a major impact in Year 1, Washington becomes even more exciting.
HEALTH. DEFENSE. DYBANTSA.
Those are my THREE biggest keys to the Wizards' season!
