10. Washington Wizards – Dyson Daniels, G, G League Ignite

The Washington Wizards will be pretty much handcuffed by Bradley Beal’s free agency decision this summer. Even though the overwhelming expectation is that he’s going to re-sign with the Wizards, there’s a chance he could completely turn the Wizards’ offseason upside down.

In the event that the Wizards are going to lose Beal during free agency, it would make sense for the team to draft a guard such as Dyson Daniels, who I expect to make a move up draft boards over the next few weeks.

Daniels is an explosive guard with modern quickness that is almost a necessity in today’s game. If he can prove that he can hit a consistent jump shot, there’s no question that Daniels will be a lottery pick in this year’s class.
