AJ Johnson
WAS • G • #5
AJ Johnson produced 14 points (6-of-15 FGs), one rebound, eight assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 48 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat.
While Johnson’s inclusion in the Kyle Kuzma trade did not draw much attention then, the move east gave him a shot at consistent rotation minutes. The rookie guard averaged 27 minutes per game in his 22 appearances for the Wizards. While Johnson’s fantasy value remained extremely low, the chances of earning a rotation spot in Washington next season are far more realistic than they would have been in Milwaukee.

Bub Carrington shot 6-of-18 from the field in Sunday’s win over the Heat, recording 15 points, seven rebounds, nine assists, one steal and three three-pointers in 41 minutes.
Wizards fans who began Sunday hoping to see their team strengthen their odds of landing the first overall pick in this summer’s draft may not have been thrilled with Carrington’s heroics. However, it was a nice end to a difficult season for the rookie guard. Bub didn’t shoot the ball well in Miami but made the decisive play when it mattered most. Carrington also made some history on Sunday, becoming the first Wizards rookie to play all 82 games since Jeff Ruland in 1981-82. Carrington made 57 starts this season; holding onto that role would raise Bub’s fantasy ceiling in 2025-26, but he’ll need to shoot better than 40.3 percent from the floor to be a useful fantasy player.

Colby Jones accounted for 20 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat.
Like fellow reserve Tristan Vukcevic, Jones experienced an increase in playing time due to the starter’s minutes being limited. Kyshawn George (5/2/1 with one three-pointer) played 15 minutes, with Jones being the beneficiary on a day when Washington only played seven. The second-year wing recorded his first career double-double, with the stat line including a career-high 10 rebounds. While George appears to have the edge regarding 2025-26 fantasy value, Jones is worth watching during Summer League play. The move from Sacramento to Washington has resulted in him receiving more opportunities to play, which he needed.
Tristan Vukcevic

Tristan Vukcevic finished Sunday’s win over the Heat with 28 points (9-of-12 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and four three-pointers in 39 minutes.
While Alexandre Sarr (10/8/4/1 with one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale, the rookie was limited to 16 minutes in Miami. Vukcevic played the lion’s share of the minutes at the center position, and the second-year pivot was outstanding. The 28 points were a career-high for the 6-foot-10 Wizard, who scored 14 or more in five of his last six appearances. Vukcevic’s fantasy value for next season is limited due to Sarr being the Wizards’ post player of the future. However, Vukcevic’s finish should keep the 22-year-old in the discussion for a rotation spot off the bench.

Brandon Boston Jr. underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle.
Boston Jr. missed the final two months of the season and will miss at least three more after undergoing surgery. Boston Jr. played well for New Orleans in an expanded role due to injuries on the wing, and he was converted from a two-way deal to a standard contract in February. He has yet to play a game on this new deal, but based on this timeline, he should be ready well before training camp starts next season.

Brandon Williams provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (6-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Grizzlies on Friday.
Williams was a bright spot for Dallas in what was mostly an abysmal performance for the team in their play-in loss. After scoring 17 points against the Kings on Wednesday, Williams was once again able to help the Mavs in the scoring department. The 25-year-old point guard only became part of the rotation after multiple injuries in front of him, but he took advantage of the opportunity. His role will be limited with Kyrie Irving healthy to start next season, but Williams is an intriguing player to keep an eye on in dynasty formats.
Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson provided a scoring boost on Friday with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers against the Grizzlies.
Thompson’s play-in performance this season was significantly better than it was last season. It wasn’t enough to get the Mavericks to the postseason in his first year with the team, but it was good to see Klay play well. His first season in Dallas likely wasn’t as expected, and his numbers dropped off from his final year with the Warriors. However, he was also expecting to play with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in the postseason. Thompson is still one of the best shooters in the league, and Dallas should be more dangerous next season when they are fully healthy. That should help Klay be more productive.
