The Washington Wizards currently have the 52nd pick in June’s 2017 NBA Draft. As always, there are plenty of players to pick from and the team has a variety of needs.
As has been stressed all season, the Wizards need to improve their bench. They also need to improve it cheaply considering their salary cap constraints. For these reasons, expect the team to draft a player that is “NBA ready” instead of a project player, or someone who could stay overseas.
Specifically, a backup point guard is of top concern. John Wall, despite missing four games this season, played the fifth most minutes during the regular season.
