2024 Season Goals
Julius Randle plays well enough beginning of the season to be dealt at the trade deadline for expiring salary & draft capital.
Alexandre Sarr wins ROTY, Tyler Kolek makes Second All NBA Rookie Team, & Coulibaly takes the next step in his game.
Washington loses enough games to be a bottom three team and in prime position to land Cooper Flagg in the 2025 NBA Draft.
