Tommy Sheppard has done 4 drafts and not done them well.Take Russ and get off Beals contract. Draft well.![]()
2019: Rui Hachimura in the 1st round and Admiral Schofield in the 2nd round.
2020: Deni Avdija in the 1st round
2021: Corey Kispert in the 1st round and Isaiah Todd in the 2nd round (after trading the LAL pick acquired from Westbrook, they traded down with Indiana to get the worst Holiday brother and Todd... disgusting)
2022: Johnny Davis in the 1st round and Yannick Nzosa in the 2nd round (who may never come over)
Kispert is legit their best young player that was drafted. And he's probably a bench shooter or maybe maxes out as like Joe Harris??
Jordan Goodwin was NOT drafted in 2021 and they lucked into signing him to the G-League squad and now he's on a tw0-way and shown great defensive instincts.
That's it. The drafting has been poor. Sure, they aren't top 5 picks, but you cannot tell me they couldn't do better and in real time most of Wizards twitter would have gotten better players and this team's outlooks looks MUCH DIFFERENT even with Brad and KP making a lot of money
