Wizards Unleash Chaotic Supersized Lineup Featuring Trae Young and Two Centers

The Washington Wizards are officially starting Trae Young, George, AJ Dybantsa, Alexandre Sarr, and Deandre Ayton on Friday night.

This looks less like a cohesive NBA starting five and more like a glitch in a basketball simulation where the salary cap was turned off and the user just started mashing the trade override button.

According to Underdog NBA, Washington is handing the keys to a massive rotation that features two true centers in Sarr and Ayton, a highly touted wing in Dybantsa, and whatever deep-range magic Young can pull out of his hat at point guard.

The Wizards are still trying to find their footing after a 120-105 loss to the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week. Throwing this supersized, chaotic puzzle onto the floor is certainly one way to shake things up.

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 other four guys might as well bring folding chairs to the corners. Factoring in his usage going through the roof is the only logical takeaway from this frontcourt logjam.

Meanwhile, Sarr and Ayton are out there to clog the paint, grab boards, and hopefully catch a lob when the defense inevitably collapses on the perimeter. Playing two massive bigs in the modern NBA is a bold choice that usually ends in either a rebounding clinic or a transition defense disaster.

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.
