Sacramento Kings take Brandon Jennings. OKC took Hasheem Thabeet, MEM took Ricky Rubio, and La Clips took Blake Griffin.

So who will we be looking at in division games? Some mighty high rated talent remains in the guard positions. Have the Wizards taken enough bigs in the last couple of years? They sure got a chance to get their young bigs a lot of game experience last year. Now they have to get their big contract players out of sick bay and playing 82.

Top nine remaining are shown in the poll. Decide who you would honestly take if you were calling shots for the Wizards, then state your choice. And thank you for voting!

If they make the pick, I think Washington goes Harden. But other considerations (contractual obligations to current players and the salary cap/lux tax levels) are going to make it tough to keep the five pick. I think they trade down a little bit and reduce the guaranteed contract payment by a little bit. I think the trading team will probably take Hill or DeRozan.

Washington trades out.

Voting that Hill is taken at 5 by another team.

Harden is the BPA but Evans might be the better fit, if he plays up to his potential. I'm going to say they go with the safer pick and draft Harden.
