Last week, I knew that picking Iowa State guard Tyrese Haliburton would have been controversial in SB Nation’s NBA team site mock draft. That’s because his best role is as a point guard, and the Washington Wizards don’t seem likely to do that with John Wall entering the second year of his supermax contract.
But the real-life Wizards did work out Memphis center Precious Achiuwa, who was also one of the players whom I considered.
According to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington, Achiuwa worked out for the Wizards earlier this week.
