The Washington Wizards have an abundance of young talent on the roster, but as of late, one talent in specifc has began to turn heads. Reigning No. 6 overall pick Tre Johnson began the season rather slowly after adjusting to the NBA game, but over the last few weeks, the explosive guard has seen his confidence grow.
