2023 NBA Mock Draft: Detroit Pistons take a risk on a wing
2023 NBA Mock Draft
UCF. 8. Pick Analysis. Forward. Taylor Hendricks . player. 142. Scouting Report
This might be a bit of a reach for the Washington Wizards here, but if they stick with Bradley Beal and re-sign Kyle Kuzma, it makes a lot of sense.
Hendricks has as much defensive upside as nearly anyone in the 2023 NBA Draft and at 6-foot-9 210 lbs. would give them a lot of size and athleticism with Kuzma and Porzingis to go along with their two guards.
Hendricks is also a good 3-point shooter who knocked down nearly 40 percent for UCF this season, so if the Wizards hold onto Beal, he’d be a nice addition. Of course, if they finally trade Beal this summer, all bets are off here.
