Starting lineup, rookie integration and backup point guard competition

Projected starters remain Trae Young, AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr, and Kyshawn George, with Tre Johnson in a sixth-man scoring role. Washington's preseason press conference may clarify the fifth-starter decision, Davis-Sarr's fit, Young's role, rookie integration, and the backup point-guard competition ahead of the October 8 preseason opener and October 21 regular-season opener.
