NBA Mock Draft 3.0: NY Knicks get franchise star; Blazers find help for Lillard

12. Washington Wizards – Jaden Hardy, G, G League

Depending on what the Washington Wizards elect to do during the offseason – and that likely all revolves around Bradley Beal – this team could be one of the biggest mysteries heading into the NBA Draft.

Either way, Jaden Hardy would be a quality selection for the team. His ceiling is high, mostly due to his offensive potential, but he’s likely going to need some time to develop. If the Wizards move on from Beal, this could be a good selection in the long run.

Even if Beal stays, his presence on the team could make developing easier for Hardy. Scouts are somewhat split on Hardy, but I can’t imagine where he isn’t a lottery pick.
