Kevin O'Connell's NBA Mock Draft highlights one mistake the Wizards can't afford
"The Washington Wizards are tied for the highest odds to earn the No. 1 overall pick, and if that dream scenario came into fruition, BYU star AJ Dybantsa would almost certainly be the pick."
"In this mock, O'Connell has the Wizards taking Keaton Wagler from Illinois, who's one of the top available players in the 2026 NBA Draft, averaging 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists."
"Darius Acuff Jr. proved to be among one of the most dominant players in the nation this season, averaging 23.5 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds on 48.4% shooting."
The Washington Wizards are in a critical position for the upcoming NBA Draft, with the potential to secure the No. 1 overall pick. However, general manager Will Dawkins suggests that the most likely outcome is selecting at No. 5. In a mock draft scenario, the Wizards are projected to choose Keaton Wagler, despite Darius Acuff Jr. being a top prospect. Acuff Jr. has had an impressive season, averaging 23.5 points and 6.4 assists, making him a highly desirable pick for the Wizards.
