In what was widely regarded as one of the steals of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Wizards were able to acquire the draft rights to Michigan State guard Cassius Winston in a trade during Wednesday’s draft.
The Wizards received Winston’s rights and the Grizzlies’ 2024 second round pick (via Oklahoma City) from the Thunder in exchange for the rights to Vit Krejci and Admiral Schofield.
One of the top players in college basketball during his four seasons, Winston averaged 18.6 points and 5.9 assists per game as a senior and 18.8 points and 7.5 assists per game as a junior at Michigan State.
