"The Washington Wizards acquisitions of Trae Young and Anthony Davis ahead of the NBA trade deadline made the team's future plans to compete sooner rather than later crystal clear. Still, with neither superstar set to see the floor anytime soon, it appears that Washington is moving forward with their sights set at one last tanking effort with the hopes of landing the final piece of the puzzle in the NBA Draft this offseason."
"With the Wizards currently holding the second-worst record in the NBA at 14-39, the stars seem to be aligning for Washington to position themselves for one last major upside pick this offseason. However, the team's dream plans to pair a top prospect like Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa or even Cameron Boozer to their core this offseason could turn into a nightmare if this latest NBA Mock Draft from Bleacher Reports proves true."
The Washington Wizards acquired Trae Young and Anthony Davis ahead of the trade deadline, though neither is expected to play soon. The team currently holds a 14-39 record and appears to be pursuing one final tank to secure a high draft pick. Top college prospects mentioned include Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, and Cameron Boozer. A Bleacher Report mock draft projects the Wizards at No. 5, with a projected draft haul of Keaton Wagler (R1, Pick 5), Dash Daniels (R2, Pick 43 via CHI), and Richie Saunders (R2, Pick 53 via MIN). Landing outside the top three could derail plans.
