Discover the top Washington Wizards overreactions from the 2025 NBA Summer League, including rookie hype and team rebuild concerns

Washington, and specifically its second-year big man, shows much more aggression in its second game, a 102-96 victory over the Nets.

Tre Johnson, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Will Riley — a large part of the Wizards’ young nucleus — did enough Sunday evening to show why the team invested first-round picks in them.

The head honcho of the Wizards' front office explained the thought process behind drafting Riley and the future he envisions for him.

Ideally, a contending team ought to have the personnel to match up well against any kind of lineup, from a small-ball opponent to an opponent that starts two bigs. The Wizards’ brain trust intends to become that kind of team eventually. But not now. It’s still too early in the rebuild.

Wizards’ rebuild is on track after big draft and trade wins. But they’re not done yet. The next free agency move could change everything.

The Miami Heat boast a talented young frontcourt duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware. But with a need for reinforcements, the Heat could turn their attention to Richaun Holmes in free agency.
