Latest news and updates about the Wizards
Multiple times this summer, I’ve heard it claimed by fans, pundits, and current/former coaches, players, and front office types that the Wizards are deep. My instinctual reaction is skepticism.

The Atlanta Hawks have had an interesting offseason, mostly improving around the margins while some teams around them in the East have made splashier moves.

When the Wizards selected Tristan Vukcevic with the 42nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, I thought it was something of a steal.
