The Washington Wizards nailed 2025 NBA free agency with smart trades, future cap room, and talent. Here’s the full breakdown and grades.

Utah “won” by finishing with the NBA's worst record but failed in their quest to get the first pick. They landed fifth, which was their worst possible outcome. Washington's reward for trying to win (and actually winning) games: finishing with the the second worst and failing in their quest to select first.

The Wizards were led by 2024 first-round pick AJ Johnson, who supplied 20 points and five rebounds. Rookie second-rounder Jamir Watkins was the only other member of the Wizards to score in double digits, tallying 10 points, five rebounds, a game-high eight steals and three blocks.
