NEW FACES DELIVER! Trae Young's Leadership + Deandre Ayton's Fresh Start

Locked On Wizards Hit - Quick Takes on the Washington Wizards · Oct 23, 2026 · 7m

And while Anthony Davis stole the headlines, two other veterans gave Washington plenty of reasons to be encouraged!

FIRST — TRAE YOUNG!

Trae wasn't particularly efficient shooting the basketball.

But I LOVED his mentality!

He was dropping DIMES all night!

And I thought he played with a toughness and passion that Washington's young players are going to appreciate.

PLUS — DEANDRE AYTON WAS AWESOME!

Ayton gave the Wizards a terrific contribution off the bench!

I know he's had problems at previous stops.

But I genuinely believe Washington could be a great opportunity for him to thrive.
