Didn't catch the game today but was watching the YouTube highlights and heard Chris Miller say that our starters' average age was younger than the Kansas Jayhawks starters, had to look it up and it's interesting:

WIZARDS:
Sarr (19)
Kuzma (29)
Poole (25)
Coulibaly (20)
Carrington (19)
AVG 22.4

JAYHAWKS:
KJ Adams Jr (22)
Hunter Dickinson (23)
Zeke Mayo (21)
Rylan Griffen (20)
Dajuan Harris Jr (23)
AVG 21.8

So not true YET, however the following Jayhawks have birthdays coming up in November/December while no Wizards starters do: Dickinson turns 24 on 11/25, Harris Jr 24 on 12/11, Mayo 22 on 12/18, and Griffen 21 on 12/19

At the end of the calendar year, this is Kansas starters' age:

JAYHAWKS:
KJ Adams Jr (22)
Hunter Dickinson (24)
Zeke Mayo (22)
Rylan Griffen (21)
Dajuan Harris Jr (24)
AVG 22.6

It really is the youth movement in DC.

  1. this is a long way of saying if you calculate the averages with the years *and* days you get to the right answer.

  2. Fascinating stat.

    All these super-duper seniors in college hoops is…eh but we do have a lot of youth about it.
