The Washington Wizards’ real-world struggles may continue on the hardwood, but in NBA 2K26, there’s a glimmer of digital promise. Rated as a Tier 3 team with a team overall (OVR) of 80, the Wizards bring a mix of potential and raw talent that could become a sleeper pick in MyNBA or online competitive modes.
Top 3 Wizards in NBA 2K26
C.J. McCollum (84 OVR) – The veteran guard arrives in DC bringing leadership and scoring versatility as a 3-Level Slasher. He sports an 81 3PT rating and contributes modestly in athleticism despite a 40 dunk rating.
Alexandre Sarr (83 OVR) – The 7’1” French phenom steps in with high upside. A Slashing Stretch Five, he combines powerful dunking (85 DNK) with a respectable 76 from deep. He’s the future of the frontcourt.
Khris Middleton (81 OVR) – The All-Star forward acts as the glue guy with an 81 3PT rating and solid midrange capabilities. He fills the 2-Way 3-Level Shot Creator archetype seamlessly.

Is this a rebuild year, in real life and in 2K?
Let’s be real: with a 62 DEF and a rebounding score of just 50, don’t expect miracles in the paint. But this is where strategy and development kick in. With an 85 Potential rating, internal growth is this team’s strongest weapon. Developing young players like Sarr, Carrington, and Coulibaly could transform the Wizards into a MyNBA dynasty.
Looking for a rebuild challenge in NBA 2K26? The Wizards are calling your name. Between hot-shooting wings like Kispert and defensive chaos agents like Coulibaly, there’s enough variety to build a strong identity: if you play your cards right. And hey, who doesn’t love building an underdog empire?
