Wizards Roll Out Glitched 2K Lineup Against Pistons

The Washington Wizards are officially starting Trae Young, George, AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis, and Alexandre Sarr on Monday night. If you read that group of names and immediately felt like you were looking at a glitched NBA 2K franchise mode save, you are not alone.

According to Underdog NBA, this is the five-man unit tasked with taking the floor against the Detroit Pistons. It is the kind of roster construction that happens when a fantasy manager panic-adds every available big man on the waiver wire and hopes for the best.

Washington is desperately trying to find some answers after getting absolutely humiliated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 114-75 blowout on Sunday. Throwing this chaotic, star-heavy puzzle onto the floor on the second night of a back-to-back is certainly one way to shake off a 39-point loss.

For anyone staring at the prop markets, this starting five is a fascinating mess. Young is going to dominate the ball so much that the rest of the lineup is basically out there to set screens and practice their cardio. Factoring in his usage going through the roof is the only logical takeaway when you pair him with a massive frontcourt of Davis and the 7-foot Sarr.

We will find out quickly if this supersized experiment actually translates to competitive basketball or if it just turns into a track meet that cashes every Trae Young over on the board. Tip-off against Detroit should give us a very clear picture of just how weird this Wizards season is going to get.
