MR. WHITE GOES TO WASHINGTON: AARON WHITE DRAFTED #49 BY WIZARDS

Well, that was slightly sooner than expected! Aaron White's name showed up fairly often in the second round of mock drafts, but not usually until the mid-to-late 50s. But all it takes is one team to like you and tonight that team was the Washington Wizards, who selected White with the 49th pick of the NBA Draft. Congrats, Aaron!

If you're a Wizards fan wanting to know more about your new draft pick, I strongly encourage you to read up on our draft profile of White from earlier in the week:

Best-Case Comp

White is fortunate that the draft is happening just a few weeks after Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship; it's a good time to be a versatile, playmaking big man.
