Villanova is in town to play Georgetown tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Capital One Arena. Why is this relevant on a Wizards’ blog? Well, Villanova’s freshman forward Cam Whitmore is a likely top-10 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
If the season ended today, the Wizards would have the tenth pick in the draft, or at least the 10th best lottery odds. Hopefully, their entire scouting department is in attendance tonight in their home arena as Whitmore is exactly the type of athletic wing the Wizards should be interested in.
According to Rookie Scale’s Consensus Big Board, which averages out the draft predictions of major draft analysts, Cam Whitmore is being projected to go fifth overall currently.
