SB Nation Reacts: Fans believe a Wizards player could be on Team USA sooner rather than later
Thank you all for voting in our SB Nation Reacts survey this week. It was about when you thought a Washington Wizards player would make the USA Basketball men’s national team as a Wizards player. I won’t lie. The 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup inspired me to make this question of the week. Three Washington […]

Could Tre Johnson be the next…
One of the Tre Johnson comps produced by The Statistical Doppelganger Machine has me…hmm…the words “kinda stoked” flowed from brain to fingers to keyboard to screen. But “kinda” and “stoked” don’t really go together, so…let’s just go with “stoked.” Editor’s Note: Kevin, you just used the words together while talking about how they don’t go […]
FIBA Women’s World Cup 2026: How much will Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen play?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen will be playing for the United States in the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup.

FIBA Women’s World Cup 2026: Alicia Florez makes Spain’s roster
On Monday, FIBA announced Spain’s final roster for the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup. Washington Mystics guard Alicia Florez was announced as one of the players. As a 22-year-old, Florez will probably not play major minutes for Spain, who will look to make their first championship game since 2014 and their first World Cup Gold […]

Can Riley improve fast enough to earn playing time with the newly competitive Wizards?
The Wizards got a fascinating prospect when they chose Will Riley 21st overall. He’s 6-9, skilled, has a funky tough-to-defend (especially if refs keep letting him use that carry elongated hesi dribble) game, and a good helping of competitive moxey. He had some good moments last season, though I was less enamored with even “the […]

Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr not in France’s latest FIBA World Cup qualifiers
The France men’s basketball team defeated Slovenia, 92-67 yesterday in Paris at Accor Arena. The Washington Wizards have Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr as part of the pipeline. They were not named for the roster yesterday however. Sarr is recovering from foot surgery earlier this offseason, but he should be ready to go this fall. […]
Is Bub Carrington the second coming of a Defensive Player of the Year winner?
Another trip through The Statistical Doppelgänger Machine, and another case of ambivalence. On one hand, the comps feel about right. On another hand, they’re not that thrilling. On still another hand, I like a couple (one is someone I’ve suggested Carrington model himself after), and I’m generally okay with another. Like most Wizards fans, I […]

Trae Young’s historical comps have something in common, and that could be a problem
Sometimes Past Me annoys Present Me. Today is one of those times. Past Me promised a statistical doppelgänger article about Trae Young. Present Me looked at the numbers and wants to write about Something Else. But…well…crap, a promise is a promise. The first challenge is that Young didn’t play much last season. Just 10 games […]
