Many things can be said about the Washington Wizards and their 3–20 start to the 2025–26 season, most of which are negative. However, one positive that has arisen is the play of their three rookies.
The Washington Wizards have proven themselves to be one of the worst teams in the NBA thus far this season, starting the year 1-12. Despite Washington's abysmal start, they have still taken a fairly conservative approach to this season, somewhat relying on older players to provide them with solid minutes.
With preseason wrapping up and the regular season being right around the corner, there is no better time then now to set some level expectations for rookie Jamir Watkins.
