The Washington Wizards have began Pre-Draft workouts with prospects they have their eyes on as the NBA Draft continues to approach quickly.
As of now, Washington holds the No. 6 overall pick, followed by the No. 18 and No. 40 selections. The Wizards have the opportunity to bring in at least three rookies with the way things stand at the moment.
With draft day looming, the Wizards have already began to schedule pre-draft workouts.
Here's a look at the three players we know about so far.
G Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma
Jeremiah Fears is one of the top prospects available players in the upcoming draft class and of the list of players working out for Washington so far, he's the lone prospect on this list in the running to be selected at No. 6 overall.
The Oklahoma guard impressed during his freshman season with the Sooners, and while he still has some areas of his game that need improvement, the intangibles and potential he showed on the court has made him an intriguing player for top teams high in the draft to consider.
That said, it makes sense to see him be a priority workout for the Wizards.
C Dylan Cardwell, Auburn
Dylan Cardwell spent the last five seasons at Auburn, where he's mostly served as a defensive anchor for the Tigers.
The 6-foot-11 center's stats won't wow you, but considering he excelled as a role player, that's the exact type of player that team's look for, especially in the later rounds of the draft.
Cardwell could be an interesting addition to Washington's front court alongside Alex Sarr and although his game doesn't offer much boost on offense, his versatility as a defender is clearly drawing interest from teams.
F Basheer Jihad, Arizona State
Basheer Jihad is one of the players stuck between continuing to test the NBA Draft waters and returning to college for another season. The versatile forward is currently in the NCAA transfer portal seeking a fresh start with a new team ahead of 2025, but it seems that he plans to leave no stone unturned before making his decision to return to college.
G Joson Sanon, Arizona State/St. John's
Joson Sanon is another player who entered the NCAA transfer portal this offseason. Unlike Jihad, Sanon found a home rather quickly in the portal landing at St. John's.
Despite that, the guard continues to navigate his potential draft stock and working out for the Wizards proves that NBA teams at least have the playmaker on their radar.
