Among the Wizards' four guards, Tre Johnson has the best Player Impact (-0.28 points per 48), ahead of Trae Young, Bilal Coulibaly and Carlton Carrington in DataBaller's October 11, 2026 lineup. The measure rates margin, not fit, and rests on last season's figures.

Asked: Who should start at the 2 for the Wizards?
Tre Johnson is the best-supported pick at the 2, next to Trae Young
Tre Johnson has the best Player Impact of the Wizards' guards: -0.28 points per 48 minutes against an average player, which DataBaller's Power Rating lineup (as of October 11, 2026) carries at 14.6 minutes a game. Last season he averaged 12.2 points in 60 games.
| Guard | Player Impact (points per 48) | Lineup minutes | Last season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tre Johnson | -0.28 | 14.6 | 12.2 pts, 2.0 ast |
| Trae Young | -1.32 | 15.6 | 17.9 pts, 8.0 ast (15 games) |
| Bilal Coulibaly | -2.47 | 16.0 | 11.7 pts, 4.3 reb |
| Carlton Carrington | -4.15 | 16.9 | 10.7 pts, 4.6 ast |
Young is the natural ball handler, so Johnson fits as the off-guard. Coulibaly is the alternative if the lineup needs a bigger wing. Carrington rates lowest of the four, yet he played all 82 games.
Roster data lists these players only as "G", so no position split or measure of lineup fit exists. Player Impact measures margin, not fit. These are last season's figures on a roster that added Deandre Ayton, AJ Dybantsa and Tre Mann.
