Trae Young is full of expectations for the Wizards: He can't wait to play alongside the team.

July 11th - According to ESPN , Trae Young expressed his expectations for the Washington Wizards' future at his contract extension press conference. Witnessed by Anthony Davis and the entire Wizards team, Young stated that he is very excited to stay in Washington long-term and looks forward to growing alongside the team's young core.

“ After watching the game last night, I couldn’t wait to get on the court. I’m incredibly excited to be a part of this team and with these teammates, ” Young said, referring to watching AJ DiBanza lead the Wizards to victory over the Jazz in the Summer League. “ They’re young, but they’re all competitive; they want to win, and nobody wants to keep losing. ”

For the past three seasons, the Wizards have suffered consecutive losses of 60 or more games. During the offseason, the team acquired Anthony Davis through a trade and retained Trae Young , hoping to improve their strength with these two star players and make a run for the playoffs.

The 27- year-old Young is averaging 25.1 points and 9.8 assists per game. The Wizards hope he can become a leader for the team's young core players, including AJ Debanza, Alex Sal , and Keishaon George , helping them develop quickly.

Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said that Young has an outstanding impact on the game, not only creating scoring opportunities but also making his teammates better, which is why the team chose him.

Yang stated that since arriving in Washington, he has felt the team's trust and the comfortable environment. " To be the best version of yourself, you need to be in the place that best suits you. In the months since being traded, I've felt this might be my next home, which is why I chose to stay. "
