Throughout Johnson’s first two games, he’s hit an incredible seven 3-pointers while shooting 50% from beyond the arc. As a result, he’s become one of five rookies in NBA history to convert at least three 3-point attempts in their first two career games (h/t Sportradar and Wizards PR). This streak could certainly continue. To start his career, Johnson has averaged 7.0 3-point attempts per game to start his career. There’s no need for him to lower the volume if he’s going to keep ripping the cord. Johnson Addresses The Big Issue Johnson no doubt has showcased his qualities as an NBA-level scorer. Yet, Washington also addressed what was arguably the last season’s biggest problem when they drafted him. Not only are his records impressive, but his consistency is something to behold for Wizards fans that witnessed some of the worst offensive stretches in franchise history last season. In 2024-25, the Wizards finished 28th in field goal percentage and 29th in 3-point percentage. Johnson may boost those numbers drastically. In fact, he could easily become the most efficient player on the roster by the end of the season. The Last Word Johnson is a problem-solver with the records to back it. Now, it’s all about consistency, which was another issue the Wizards faced last season. That being said, not only is Johnson showing his effectiveness scoring the ball, but other members of the young core are as well. It may be too soon to tell. However, there has to be a certain amount of optimism that the young core can figure it out, building off their great start. Should they do that, they’ll be a contender sooner rather than later.
