2012 NBA Offseason Preview: Washington Wizards


Players Returning
PG John Wall
C Nene Hilario

Key Free Agents
none

2012 Draft Picks
#3, #32, #46

Team Needs
SF, SG

The only way to describe the play of Washington's SFs this season is terrible. There is no doubt in my mind that the Wizards should be taking Michael Kidd-Gilchrist from Kentucky. Not only because he's from John Wall's former school and they should have solid chemistry, but mainly because he is flat out the best player available at that spot and he just so happens to be playing the position that the Wizards need so badly. They might even be able to draft a solid SG with their #32 pick like Will Barton out of Memphis or John Jenkins from Vanderbilt to get some great playing time as well. Washington still has one year left of Rashard Lewis's terrible contract, therefore no cap space, but this may be one of the more exciting young teams in the NBA for years to come.
