## Wizards Prepare for Opening Night
Washington Wizards stand mere hours from Game One of their 82-game slate.
## Final Preseason Cuts Deadline
Deadline to whittle training camp participants down to 15 fully-contracted players was Monday.
## Projected Regular Starting Lineup
PG: Trae Young, SG: AJ Dybantsa, SF: Kyshawn George, PF: Anthony Davis, C: Alex Sarr.
## Trae Young's Role
4x All-Star Trae Young signed for four more seasons to remain a wizard.
## AJ Dybantsa's Status
Reigning no. 1 overall draft pick ruled out of season opener after ankle injury.
## Kyshawn George's Development
SF Kyshawn George certified place in opening unit after sophomore season.
## Anthony Davis's Scoring Role
Media view AD as odds-on favorite to lead crew in scoring as most experienced rim-finisher.
## Alex Sarr's Position
C Alex Sarr, more pick and roll-dependent lob artist than AD, looks to parlay development.
## Routinely-Utilized Bench Hands
Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Deandre Ayton, Justin Champagnie, Bub Carrington, Khris Middleton, Will Riley.
## Tre Johnson's Shooting
Wizards' top pure-shooting prospect with relaxed jump shot extending beyond average perimeter play-finisher.
## Bilal Coulibaly's Status
Work in progress as defensive-minded athlete with cutting drive and above-the-rim bounce.
## Deandre Ayton's Role
Washington's most recent buy-low acquisition with true center without perimeter upside.
## Justin Champagnie's Role
Slightly-smoother shot release with rebounding aggression turned up for immediate deployment.
## Bub Carrington's Shooting
40% effective 3-point stroke ensures chances to keep offense chugging as shooter with juice.
## Khris Middleton's Role
Experienced Middleton knows how to put ball in hoop with positive feel and veteran leadership.
## Will Riley's Status
Still-raw Riley may prove too much of a project for immediate 15+ minute per night workload.
## Remaining Little-Used Reserves
Tre Mann, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill, Felix Okpara, Jamir Watkins, Reece Beekman.
## Tre Mann's Potential
Jordan Poole variant as ambitious shooter and tough shot-attempter with burst for occasional looks.
## Tristan Vukcevic's Status
Sticking around Washington entering fourth season as floor-spacing seven-footer.
## Anthony Gill's Role
Longest-tenured wizard's odds of suiting up as 15th man contingent on injury storm.
## Key takeaway

Washington Wizards' opening night roster features Trae Young as point guard with Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr in the starting lineup.
