NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Bulls land a new face of the franchise; Lakers make a trade

3. Washington Wizards – Brandon Miller, F, Alabama

Jumping into the top 3 would be a complete game-changer for the Washington Wizards heading into the offseason. This is a team that desperately needs a lifeline and in a draft that is quickly transforming into a top-three prospect draft, this would be exactly that. Adding Brandon Miller would reignite this franchise and possibly give Bradley Beal a legit potential second star that he could help along the way.

Miller has made quite the jump up NBA Draft boards over the last couple of months and if he can turn in a good – and deep – showing in the NCAA Tournament, you can only guess how much more he could potentially move up the draft boards heading into the NBA Draft. But I think it’s pretty safe to assume that Miller will be a top 3 draft pick.

It’s hard not to think about the potential that a duo of Miller and Beal can have on the floor together. Of course, this is under the assumption that Miller is ready to play at a fairly high level as soon as he steps onto an NBA court. While he is a good prospect, I’m not sure if that’s something that can be assumed.
