Four Notable Stats Through Washington Wizards' First Ten Games

The Washington Wizards will look to turn the page from a disappointing stretch on the road when they face the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, aiming to end a three-game slide amid a slew of humbling results. Yet ten games into the regular season, we take a look at three stats that loom large surrounding the Wizards' 4-6 start.

30.2...the team's three point shooting percentage, ahead of only the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls across the NBA. That also includes all but three players shooting under 30% from three along the Wizards' roster, while teams are shooting 1.5% better from three than Washington through the first ten games. The Atlanta Hawks shot over a combined 40% from three across their pair of wins over the Wizards last week, a catalyst in why the Wizards played from behind seemingly all night in both losses.

3.4...the number of turnovers that Trae Young is averaging, ranked 16th across the NBA. Young does still rank among the league leaders with his 8.9 assists per game trailing only Nuggets star Nikola Jokic and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, but Young's inefficiencies have loomed large to start his official Wizards' tenure. Young has recorded at least five assists in all but one game to begin the regular season, but has also recorded at least three turnovers in five of his last six games.

-6.5...Washington's rebounding differential, which ranks ahead of only the Phoenix Suns across the league. Washington's 41.6 rebounds per game ranks 26th through ten games, a concerning trend for a team that entered the season looking to build its identity around its double big lineup. It also highlights the impact of the long-term absence of Justin Champagnie, magnifying the ongoing issue that head coach Brian Keefe needs to address through a tough opening stretch. Washington ranks 29th in offensive rebound percentage, 27th in total rebound percentage and 26th in defensive rebound percentage. Yet maybe most humbling is the fact that the 2025-26 Wizards are averaging 0.3 more rebounds than the current team.

50%...that's Bub Carrington's three point percentage through the first ten games, good enough to rank tied for sixth among NBA players averaging at least 19 minutes per game in 2026-27. For a team struggling to find scoring, Carrington has been able to provide that in spurts. That includes two games with Carrington knocking down all three attempts from deep, while he's made at least one three in eight appearances and shot at least 50% from deep in six games. Though it's only materialized into one double figure scoring game, Washington has turned to the third-year guard both on and off ball in the rotation with Carrington adjusting to his role now that Trae Young has assumed point guard duties. Carrington has also shot at least 40% from the floor in six games this season.
