Wizards turn in solid draft
The Washington Wizards ended up getting a player they figured would be gone when they selected with the No. 6 overall pick, landing Jan Vesely.
Vesely gives the team some European flair, a guy with height who likes to play out on the perimeter and can shoot the ball from the outside.
Washington later lucked out as Chris Singleton fell down the board and even tumbled past the New York Knicks at No. 17. The Knicks surprised everyone by reaching for Iman Shumphert, allowing the Wizards to grab the best defensive player in the draft.
In the second round, Washington took Butler guard Shelvin Mack. I wasn’t a huge fan of Mack, who doesn’t have a great size or quickness.
In fact, unlike most draft pundits, I wasn’t overly impressed with Washington’s draft. Vesely has a high bust factor, although he was their only real option given the weakness at the top of the draft.
