The Washington Wizards landed the No. 2 pick overall in the NBA Draft. Rumors are the Wizards are all in on acquiring a third first-round pick, according to Coley Cleary of HoopsHype. Reports indicate Washington wants to continue building through the draft and develop young prospects selected in the NBA Draft for 2024 and 2025. “The Washington Wizards hold the No. 2 and 26 picks in the first round and will look to acquire another first-round pick in the draft, league sources told HoopsHype… After drawing significant interest ahead of the trade deadline, including a near deal that sent him to the Dallas Mavericks, Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is expected to be coveted again on the trade market by rival teams heading into the draft, league sources said.”
Kyle Kuzma is a lot of things. “I'm part of a new generation of the NBA,” Kuzma told TechCrunch in a phone interview. Kuzma, 28, joined early-stage-focused Scrum Ventures in March as an adviser to help with the firm's sports and entertainment fund, which is targeting $120 million.
Will the Wizards finally lean into a youth movement?
