The Washington Wizards announced today the team has exercised the fourth-year rookie scale team option on guard Bub Carrington, forward Kyshawn George, and forward/center Alex Sarr. The team also exercised the third-year rookie scale team options on guard Tre Johnson and forward Will Riley.

Sleeper Wizards: Will Dawkins praises the evolution of Kyshawn George as what he calls the “Leader of the Sleeping Bag Crew.” “He's gotten bigger, stronger, more consistent... Ky's the versatile wing a lot of teams are looking for because he plays both ends of the floor, can play with the ball, off the ball, and he’s got a strong belief and confidence in who he is.”

Josh Robbins: Alex Sarr, Tristan Vukcevic, Kyshawn George and Bilal Coulibaly are sitting courtside across from the Wizards' bench. There might be more Wizards players here, but those are the four I see.

Libaan Osman: Kyshawn George says the Washington Wizards are starting to look “scary” after adding No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa. George also on Canadian teammate Will Riley: “Super skillful, wants to work, he’s in the gym everyday with me.”

Cyro Asseo: AJ Dybantsa will spearhead the Wizards youth movement alongside Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr and the duo of Trae Young-Anthony Davis. His ability to get to the rim and draw fouls will be huge for this young team.

Anthony Davis: Anthony Davis met with the D.C. media on Wizards cleanout day. I asked if he’s committed to playing in Washington next season. “I’m under contract,” he said. “I love my money.” He said it with a smile. But he also said he’s intrigued by some of the off-court infrastructure that the front office has put into place. Also impressed by the work ethic of the young core. In particular, he liked the answers/thought process from Kyshawn George. Really likes Bub Carrington’s game.

Josh Robbins: Kyshawn George was asked what the Wizards can accomplish in 2026-27. His answer: "Many, many great things." He added that he expects the team to reach the postseason and still be playing at this time next year.
