The Wizards selected Ukranian point guard Issuf Sanon with the 44th overall pick in the NBA Draft.
With all due respect to Sanon, this pick isn’t going to go over well with Wizards fans. Let’s review a few quick reasons why:
- There was a safe pick (Keita Bates-Diop) who could have helped next season and a high upside pick (Hamidou Diallo) who could have helped address their big man issues. Instead, they added another point guard.
- Keith Smith is reporting he will be stashed in Europe, just like second round picks of years past like Vladimir Veremeenko and Aaron White.
