2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #12
The Washington Wizards have been in a free fall since early in the season when it looked like they were going to be a contender for the playoffs.
Like the Trail Blazers, the Wizards could go in a number of directions, as they have Bradley Beal headed into the final year of his contract.
He has expressed interest in staying with the team, so the Wizards could decide to re-sign him to a massive extension and effectively make him their Damian Lillard, or they can trade him for assets and start over around some of their youth.
The problem is that they don’t have much young talent to build around, so I could see them extending Beal, and trading this pick for another player to put around him.
If they do keep the pick, Daniels is a guy who has been one of the biggest movers in recent weeks, as his combination of size and all-around skills have drawn some comparisons to Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons.
