    Nick explains why he has more confidence in the Washington Wizards’ rebuild than the Washington Commanders’, pointing to the Wizards’ young core and clearer developmental direction. He argues that while the Wizards are stacking talent and prioritizing growth, the Commanders still face major roster questions, starting with overall depth and consistency. A key concern he raises is the health of quarterback Jayden Daniels, noting that uncertainty at the game’s most important position makes projecting the Commanders’ long-term outlook far more difficult.
