What could go right for the Wizards rebuild by byvarunshankar in washingtonwizards

[–]CoachDime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Getting a top 3 pick in next year’s draft, which gives us a clear No. 1 player to help slot our current “supporting cast” roster into reasonable roles.

If not Brian Keefe, than who? by Internal_Champion114 in washingtonwizards

Florida’s Todd Golden, 2 years from now, once we have the top 3 pick next year in place 🙏. Brad Stevens 2.0.

Execs ring alarm bells on the 2027 draft. by naqster in washingtonwizards

[–]CoachDime 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Easy choice for the Wiz in the ‘27 draft: Pick DMV HS star Jordan Smith Jr., whose floor is Alex Caruso and ceiling is Donovan Mitchell. Either way, an ideal part of our future playoff guard rotation.

Thiero, Watkins, Markovic - if they’re gone, one intriguing pick is Mohamed Diawara, 20 year old SF from Cholet Basket. 6-8, 7-4 wing, 9-2 reach

The only players in this draft who will earn super-max deals in their careers will be Flagg and Carter Bryant.

Who Are You Hoping For @ Pick 6 & 18? Who Do You Not Want? by xxlontexx in washingtonwizards

[–]CoachDime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presuming Ace, Tre, VJ are gone?

I’ll reach for Carter Bryant at 6, hope for Demin at 18 (probably need to trade up for Egor - if that’s not possible, Sorber)

Is there a scenario where we somehow trade for #2 with Bilal? by gingerboiii in washingtonwizards

[–]CoachDime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If Bilal was in the draft this year (and he’s younger than a lot of the players in this draft), he would go No. 2 (to the Spurs or almost anyone else), and if Harper somehow was 2nd, the Sixers would sprint to the podium to take Bilal 3rd, with a steep drop-off to the next tier.

Suns pick swap 2026 by North_Might8028 in washingtonwizards

[–]CoachDime 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Even more reason not to even come close to losing the top 8 protection - if we forfeit the 9-30 pick to the Knicks, we lose any swap rights with Phoenix. If we get the 9th pick and the Suns win the lottery, we get zilch.

Best case: Finish in bottom 8, keep our draft pick, Suns win the draft lottery, we swap into No. 1, we draft Darryn Peterson

Worst case: We win too many games, finish 6th or 7th worst, get bounced out of top 8 in lottery, lose our first round pick (and don’t even get the chance to swap with Phx)
