3 Players the Wizards should consider taking in the 2024 NBA Draft

2. Zach Edey

You can’t teach 7'3"; that height doesn’t come around very often.

Zach Edey is a dominant force on the interior. More of a throwback center, he is the complete opposite of Sarr. He doesn’t have the foot speed that Sarr has to switch on smaller players, but his inside defense is elite, averaging almost two blocks and close to 10 rebounds during his collegiate career.

With his size, Edey can bully his way around the rim and does a great job at finishing. Some don’t think he’s a lottery pick, but O’Connor has Edey being drafted at 12 by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Maybe the Wizards can take Edey if he’s available in the late first round. 

3. Cody Williams

If the Wizards decide to move on from Kyle Kuzma, they can trade him to potentially land another high draft pick. If so, Cody Williams is someone they may decide to draft.

A wing with good height on him at 6'8", O’Connor compares Williams to Jalen Rose. His size and playmaking ability can make him a valuable part of the Wizards’ offense going into the future. If his shot develops, he can be a threat offensively. Defensively, he brings upside being 6'8". Williams and Coulibaly on the wing would give opposing teams nightmares when they become fully acclimated to the NBA game. 

The Wizards have a bunch of options they could go with during the upcoming draft. This summer's draft can serve as another building block for the Wizards going forward.
