On the latest episode of the Bleav in Wizards Podcast, we dive into everything you need to know from the Washington Wizards slow start to the 2026-27 regular season

On the latest episode of the Bleav in Wizards Podcast, hosted by Matt Modderno of Sleepers Media joined with Washington Wizards forward Jahadi White, we break down what we do -- and do not -- like through the first 13 games of the regular season.

White breaks down what he has noticed about how Anthony Davis has made a clear impact in his early tenure, but also the Wizards' floor spacing and ball movement issues as they look to learn how to play with the ten time All Star.

Meanwhile, Alex Sarr had a breakout game on Thursday night after notching his first 30 point game since his rookie season and doing so after making all ten attempts from the field in regulation. Still, it marked the first sign of optimism for the third year center who broke out in year two, but has struggled to find his footing consistently in the double big lineups. We also dive into Trae Young's slow start defensively, even though the veteran point guard entered the regular season aware that he would likely be the weak link on a lineup looking to reverse last season's troubling trends. And with Young entering the regular season as the second highest paid player after Anthony Davis, how much grace does the four time All Star point guard deserve to begin his extended Wizards tenure to begin his four year deal?

Plus, we dive into the Wizards' three point struggles in repeated games this season, though Thursday's double overtime loss provided a difference after the Wizards shot shy of 40% from distance, including Alex Sarr knocking down his first four attempts from deep.
