Wizards Shut Down Top Draft Picks | NBA News

The Wizards are pulling the plug on their top summer league trio—AJ Dybantsa, Will Riley, and Tre Johnson—after they dominated with jaw-dropping stats and flashes of elite potential. Dybantsa, the No. 1 pick, averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Riley matched him with 25 points and 4.5 boards. Johnson even dropped 26 in one game. Coaches say they’ve seen enough in practice and shootarounds to know these young stars are ready for the real grind. Meanwhile, Jamir Watkins is sidelined with a knee tweak, leaving his future uncertain. The Wizards are wisely protecting their future by letting these guys rest up for the regular season.
