Community mock draft: Washington wizards

Hey y’all, I’m doing a community mock draft for the 1st round of the NBA Draft which the results will be updated each day on r/NBADraft. Since Washington has the #1 pick, y’all will be going first. I was inspired by someone doing a similar thing for the NFL draft. Y’all will have a poll with 3 options(no trades unfortunately), and whichever player gets the most votes will be the pick for that spot

Blazers new lineup:

C. Clingan

F. Camara

F. Deni

G. JB

G. Jrue

  1. Dame/Scoot

Celtics new lineup:

C. Queta

F. Tatum

F. Sharpe

G. White

G. PP

JB instantly gives them a go-to bucket when Deni's offense isn't there, and he adds to their already strong defense, as a versatile poa defender next to Jrue, Clingan, and Camara

Celtics blow it up take on Grant's bad deal, get a young, cheap, and athletic slasher in Sharpe, plus a boatload of picks

My OROY prediction: Jordyn Tyson

Explanation: I think Tyler Shough is the best pure passing QB heading into year 2 and I honestly think it will stay that way. I also think Tyson was WR1 in this draft barring injury concerns, and if you look at the actual injuries there wasn't a pattern, multi ligament tear in '22, horrific injury no doubt, however since then the other two injuries were a broken collarbone and hamstring issues. His ability to separate vs man or zone at all 3 levels of the field in addition to his body control and YAC upside give him easily the highest ceiling in this class and would walk in as the #2/1B to Olave immediately.

My DROY prediction: Caleb Downs

Explanation: I, like many people, think he was the best defensive player in this past draft. Also his archetype, the do-it-all "STAR" role (safety/big nickel that can move around the formation) is starting to become a premium in the NFL guys like Emmanwori, Branch, Hamilton, Pitre, DeJean, Lake on the Rams, and Derwin where their almost always impacting the play and I feel like DC Christian Parker will ensure he is as close to the ball as possible on every play, one play he's fitting the run, the next he's covering your slot or TE in man, and after that he's designed to take his quarter away.

My All-Rookie Team Prediction:

Offense(21 personnel they should change it to 11 or 12 personnel)

QB: Mendoza

RB1: Love

RB2: Price

WR1: Tyson

WR2: Tate

TE: Stowers

LT: Freeling

LG: Rutledge

C: Jones

RG: Ioane

RT: Fano

Defense(4-3):

DE: Bain

DT: Woods

DT: McDonald

DE: Bailey

LB: Trotter

LB: Styles

LB: Hill

CB: Delane

CB: Terrell

S: Downs

S: Thieneman
