Wizards Roll Out Chaotic Starting Five for Saturday

The Washington Wizards are officially rolling out a starting five of Trae Young, Kyshawn George, Bilal Coulibaly, Johnny Davis, and Alexandre Sarr for Saturday's game.

If you read that group of names and immediately felt a headache coming on, you are not alone. This starting five looks less like a cohesive NBA rotation and more like the result of hitting auto-fill on a salary cap spreadsheet after a few too many drinks.

For anyone staring at the prop markets, this lineup is a chaotic puzzle with one massive, glaring neon sign pointing directly at Trae Young. The point guard is going to have the ball in his hands for 90 percent of the shot clock, meaning his usage rate might actually require a federal audit by halftime.

Washington is desperately trying to find a spark after a rough stretch of basketball. They are coming off a 112-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday, which followed a 128-116 shootout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the week.

Now they have to bounce back with a rotation that heavily relies on a 7-foot center in Sarr and whatever magic Young can pull out of his hat. Meanwhile, Coulibaly and Davis are basically out there to run wind sprints and hopefully catch a pass when the defense inevitably sends three guys at the ball-handler.

We will see if this experiment actually translates to competitive basketball when they tip off against the Chicago Bulls. If nothing else, this rotation gives us a very clear picture of just how weird the rest of this Wizards season is going to get.
