Following the NBA Draft, all eyes turn towards the NBA Summer League with the top prospects set to showcase their talent against one another.
Not only do the Wizards have multiple first round talents set to suit up in the coming weeks, but they also have a high-upside second round pick and an underrated undrafted free agent signing set to join them.
Between the Wizards other young prospects in Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, and AJ Johnson also potentially preparing to join the rookies, Washington may arguably have the most loaded Summer League team this offseason.
However, focusing on the incoming rookie class, let's take a look at one thing each Wizards rookie needs to prove during Summer League.
Tre Johnson must prove he's more than just a scorer
Heading into the draft process, the hype surrounding Tre Johnson was the fact that he was one of most dominant scorers in all of college during his freshman season at Texas.
The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 19.9 points, while shooting 42.7% from field goal range and 39.7% from beyond the arc.
While scoring seems to be the least of the concerns about Johnson's game, his lack of playmaking with the Longhorns is the one thing that stands out.
It could be due to the lack of talent surrounding him at Texas and it also could be because the team's game plan was to rely on Johnson's elite scoring to keep them in games.
However, at the next level, especially as a rookie, scoring won't be enough to help him develop into a star.
Johnson will need to prove he can be a dynamic playmaker and willing facilitator to pair alongside his scoring ability.
Will Riley needs to back up his upside
Will Riley was a talent that many felt could warrant a lottery pick solely due to the potential of the player he could become.
The oversized guard has the size to play as a wing and he showed enough flashes off the Illini's bench that many felt his game could immediately translate to the NBA, especially because of his high IQ play.
However, the potential and production in Riley's case doesn't closely align, at least not yet.
Riley must show during Summer League that he's more than capable of developing into the player the Wizards selected because of his potential.
Jamir Watkins isn't only a defensive standout
Jamir Watkins opted to remain in the NBA Draft after leaving his options open to return to college, where he entered the transfer portal.
The Florida State star slid to the second round landing with the Wizards, who opted to take a swing on the two-way player he could develop into for them.
Watkins is looked at as an elite defender with versatility to defend multiple positions, but his offensive game may be the most slept on part of his skilset.
The 6-foot-7 guard averaged 18.4 points, with shooting splits of 42.7% from field goal range and 32.1% from three in his final season with the Seminoles.
Although he didn't prove to be the most efficient scorer, but he proved there's enough to work with to develop his offensive game further in the NBA.
The first step will be in Summer League.
Kadary Richmond needs to prove he belongs
Kadary Richmond was signed as the lone undrafted free agent for the Wizards directly after the draft ended.
The guard showed out at St. John's as a defender, but struggled as an offensive player.
Obviously, there's not much expectations for an UDFA, but if there's anything for him to prove, it's that he belongs in the league.
Richmond could earn himself a chance with the Wizards with a strong Summer League performance.
