The Washington Wizards' 2026-27 regular season is young. And though AJ Dybantsa has still yet to make his season (and NBA) debut, the Wizards' two established All-Stars, guard Trae Young and forward Anthony Davis, are producing the numbers fans expect.
Both Young and Davis are averaging 22 points a game each, both in the top 30 for the NBA. It should also be no surprise that Young and Davis are also taking the most shots per game. That said, Davis is making only y 44 percent of his shots so far this season, well below his career rate of 52.2 percent. That said, Davis has only played four games so this percentage should move up over time.

Young has started off on a hot streak with assists where he leads the NBA with 11.0 per game. Though he averaged just 8.0 assists per game last season though it was in just 15 total appearances with the Wizards and Atlanta Hawks. From the 2022-23 through 2024-25 seasons, Young averaged at least 10 assists per game though it also came with him averaging over 4 turnovers per game. This season, Young is only averaging 2.3 turnovers though four games is a small sample size.
If Young and Davis stay consistent, the Wizards should be a significantly improved team this season, even if they can't carry Washington to a Top-4 finish in the Eastern Conference. Now, we're just waiting on when Dybantsa to get cleared for his professional debut.
