"As draft season looms, NBA mock drafts have officially began to surface, including Bleacher Report, who's made sure to join the fun. For Wizards' fans looking for some good news, let's just say if Bleacher Reports' latest mock draft were to come true, Washington could be find themselves taking a major step forward. That said, here's a look at the Wizards selections in the most recent mock draft from Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman."
"The odds Washington keeps all of their picks in the 2026 NBA Draft is highly unlikely, but the quantity of the team's full two-round mock isn't what stands out. Instead, the quality of the picks for the Wizards is what could project the team forward this offseason. Starting off landing the top player in the draft, that many have argued to be the best guard prospect since Michael Jordan (yes, that's a real argument) could be major for Washington."
The Washington Wizards struggled this season and failed to deliver the expected leap from their young core. The team's poor results increase the likelihood of securing a high pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. A recent mock assigns the Wizards the No. 1 pick, projecting guard Darryn Peterson to Washington, plus late-first and multiple second-round prospects including Tahaad Pettiford and Alvaro Folgueiras. Adding a top guard alongside Tre Johnson would strengthen the backcourt, while Pettiford and a stretch big like Folgueiras would supply depth and shooting. Keeping every pick remains unlikely, but quality selections could boost the roster.
