The Wizards are in the midst of a complete rebuild, and the 2023-24 season reflected that with a franchise-record 67 losses. Despite Jordan Poole’s struggles in his first season as a Wizard, the team’s young core showed some promise with Deni Avdija standing out. However, the rest of the roster struggled to step up, leading to a disappointing year.
This offseason, Washington made some bold moves, trading Avdija for Malcolm Brogdon and draft capital. The team also selected Alex Sarr with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Sarr, a versatile 7-footer, brings potential to a team desperate for young talent, although his underwhelming Summer League performance raised some eyebrows. Alongside Sarr, Bub Carrington and Kyshawn George will look to carve out roles in a developmental season under new head coach Brian Keefe.
The Wizards’ expectations remain low for the 2024-25 season as they focus on long-term development. Washington will likely use the year to evaluate its young talent and could consider trading veterans like Kyle Kuzma to stockpile additional assets.
DraftKings Sportsbook sets their odds at +100,000 to win the NBA Finals and +60,000 for the Eastern Conference. Their win total over/under is set at 20.5, with +100 for the over and -120 for the under. Making the playoffs seems unlikely, with odds of +2,200 to make it and -20,000 to miss out.
