What happened: Washington plans to start 6-foot-8, 6-foot-9, 6-foot-10 and 7-foot players around Trae Young going into the season. The game remains in progress.

Why it matters: The alignment prioritizes positional size at every other starting spot. That length can change defensive matchups without a substitution.

What to watch: Watch whether Washington keeps the same starting group as the preseason progresses.
