The Washington Wizards selected Will Riley 21st overall, recognizing his 6-9 frame and unique playing style, though his performance last season was average at best. At just 19-20 years old, he needs to improve his strength and shooting consistency, particularly from three-point range, as he competes for minutes against established players like Anthony Davis. His ball handling raises concerns, especially with the potential for stricter carrying calls. As he prepares for the upcoming season, Riley’s development will be crucial for the Wizards’ competitiveness in 2026-27.
