Tre Johnson is struggling from three. So are the Wizards
Washington’s No. 6 pick Tre Johnson, hailed as an elite shooter, is sputtering early in the 2026‑27 season, going 2‑for‑23 in the past two games and 0‑for‑13 from three‑point range. He’s shooting just 35.1% overall and 24.5% from beyond the arc, the league’s second‑worst among players with 50+ attempts. The Wizards share his woes, hitting only nine of 36 threes (29%) in a 122‑111 loss to Detroit, with Trae Young, Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George also underperforming.

Averaging 22.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists over his first 10 games, Brown shoots 47.7% from the field and 39.2% from three, while delivering clutch moments—four fourth‑quarter threes, four free throws and a late steal against Chicago, plus a key block on Cade Cunningham’s Pistons comeback. Coach Nick Nurse praises his intangibles and winning drive, noting the Sixers are +5.4 net rating with Brown on the floor versus –3.1 without.
