The starting lineup is Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Kyshawn George, Will Riley, and Alex Sarr for the Wizards. This lineup ends up being the youngest starting lineup in NBA history according to the Hornet broadcast. Usually Khris Middleton would start but since he’s not the Wizards decided to put in Will Riley instead. This is some great tanking

If you intentionally tear down your roster so that you only have young players that need to develop…do people think that’s not tanking?

Roster construction is the most straightforward and surefire way to tank over the course of a season

To be fair, Khris Middleton was probably the worst starter

Bro has been absolute CHEEKS lately. Like, Dawkins told him to personally ensure that we don’t win too many games

Will Riley is the only part of this that I’d call maybe tanking otherwise those are our 4 best players

and he is one of our first rounders from this year…he needs minutes to work on his development. It’s not like he’s some rando undrafted g-leaguer who shouldn’t be getting minutes.

This isnt tanking. That is their best team realistically

I would argue that Champagnie would be part of any best lineup, but it definitely isn’t a bad lineup.

Either Champagnie or Watkins. Need defense

Our starting five are 24, 20, 23, 27, 24 and look like the Clippers in comparison

He’s gonna challenge LeBron’s scoring and age record. He’s 1 of 1

The Washington Wizards are starting the youngest lineup in NBA history vs the Hornets with an average age of 20.64 years old
