Washington Wizards Loss to the Suns PROVES they NEED Trae Young | Alex Sarr and Tre Johnson SHINE

On today’s episode of Locked On Wizards, hosts Ben Strober and Abdullah Ayubi break down the Washington Wizards' third straight loss in the desert against the Phoenix Suns. The pair analyzes why this latest blowout highlights the team’s desperate need for Trae Young’s playmaking—diving into offensive struggles, high turnover rates, and the impact of trading away CJ McCollum. The show praises Alex Sarr’s continued growth, especially on defense, where he’s leading the league in blocks, and spotlights the impressive progression of rookie Tre Johnson, questioning if he’s an underrated member of this year’s class. The hosts discuss long-term plans for Trae Young, the defensive critiques surrounding his acquisition, and explore what the Wizards’ future could look like with young talents developing alongside a true point guard. Plus: fun stats, franchise three-point records, and reflections on Wizards legends chiming in after the big trade.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
