NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Bulls, Magic jump into top 3; Cade Cunningham falls
11. Washington Wizards – Kai Jones, F, Texas
Despite a rough start, the Washington Wizards have recovered nicely over the last month of the season and are at the very least expected to be in the playoff play-in tournament. Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook have powered the Wizards and they will need help in the frontcourt heading into next season.
One fit outside the top 10 is Kai Jones. Even though he’s far from a polished prospect, Jones is an interesting pick for the Wizards for several reasons. For one, he gives this team another prospect with high potential and one that would help solidify this team’s frontcourt.
Jones is 6-foot-11 and is a player that would initially help this team’s defense and add to this team’s overall athleticism.
