last 3 seasons 2 of them went to the 2nd round. drafted well besides vesaly. alot of teams would be dreaming of what the wizards have. puts things in perspective
A lot of teams? We **** up on the draft.
2009 - traded the 5th pick for Mike Miller and Randy Foye. Curry was picked 7th
2010 - John Wall, fine, but had the 30th pick that year and drafted Lazar Hayward...Hassan Whiteside was drafted 33rd (granted he moved around a lot)
2011 - this is where we messed up. Could have taken Leonard at 6, we had the 18th pick, I loved Faried in that draft, Tobias Harris was there, Jimmy Butler. 2nd round we go with Shelvin Mack, but Chandler Parsons was picked in this round.
2012 - Beal in the 1st, but 2nd round? Picked Tomas, but Draymond Green was there, Jae Crowder, Will Barton
2013 - Porter
2014 - traded the pick for Gortat which was a solid trade
2015 - Oubre who's turning out to be a stud
2016 - traded for Morris which has been OK so far
We messed up 2009. That's where we still had Gilbert, Jamison, Butler. Before the gun scandal, could you imagine that team with Curry? But that didn't happen, we had 2011 to rectify things and none of the guys from that draft are on this team. Wall/Leonard/Faried/Parsons core? Are you kidding me? There's no guarantee we would have picked where we did in 2012, but just look at the 2nd round talent.
It's gotten better the last 4 years, but we screwed the pooch from 2009-2011.
i remember saying the wizards were the biggest winners after the 2011 draft with vesley and singleton
ive since realized that guy that runs draftexpress knows next to nothing.
