Tommy Sheppard, the Wizards’ Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations and interim President has conducted his own draft on June 20. He drafted players that would fit a culture of mature, up-and-coming skilled players who fit a system as opposed to athletes who often didn’t reach their potential.
It remains to be seen how well Rui Hachimura and Admiral Schofield fit into the Wizards’ future plans. But Sheppard may still see that someone else can override his decisions. Or perhaps, Sheppard may not have a job in a few days or weeks.
