Bridges' 2.2 made three-pointers per game is 0.7 more than his over/under in Saturday's game (1.5).

With the Young trade as the template of a low-cost trade for a distressed asset, league sources speculated that New Orleans Pelicans big man Zion Williamson would be someone the Wizards would have to consider if the price is right,

There's no denying that the Washington Wizards are trending in the right direction. Over the last few years, Washington's front office has assembled a roster filled with an abundance of young talent, all of which each prospect has an extremely high ceiling. However, Washington still isn't prepared to make a run for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, at least not yet.

The most obvious building block is French product Alex Sarr, who's emerged as a legit two-way star for the Wizards throughout the start of this season. Averaging 16,9 points, 7.6 rebounds and an impressive 2.3 blocks per game, the 7-footer is beginning to tap into the potential that motivated the Wizards to select him No. 2 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Of those moves, CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore were two of the biggest additions on the trade maket for Washington, both of which were expected to bring a versatile skillset to the DMV. McCollum's tenure in Washington has already come to an end with the veteran guard being the centerpiece of the Wizards' package to acquire star guard Trae Young in a blockbuster trade with the Atlanta Hawks.

CJ McCollum will miss his first game of the season for the Washington Wizards on Wednesday with what the team is calling right quad soreness. Maybe there is nothing more to it than that, but the timing is interesting, considering on Monday, NBA insider Marc Stein reported the team was having conversations with the Hawks about a Trae Young trade. Shortly after Washington said that McCollum would sit, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Young's top trade destination is the Wizards.

Entering the regular season, Bub Carrington seem poised to have the opportunity to prove that he could not only be a building block for the Washington Wizards, but he could be the team's long-term solution at point guard. Between an inconsistent start to the season and his eventual benching in favor of returning two-way prospect Bilal Coulibaly, it became obvious early on that Washington may have their doubt about Carrington's development.
