2023 NBA Mock Draft

Pick Analysis. G League Ignite. 142. 2. player. Scouting Report. Guard. Scoot Henderson

The Washington Wizards are dancing in the streets after jumping up six spots to land the #2 pick and the chance to draft Scoot Henderson.

There has been a lot of talk about Brandon Miller being drafted over Scoot (especially if the Detroit Pistons get the pick) but the Wizards would be the perfect spot for Henderson, as they don’t have much at point guard and would finally have a second star to pair with Bradley Beal.

Putting Scoot with Beal, Kuzma (who would be more likely to stay) and Porzingis would immediately make the Wizards a very interesting team in the Eastern Conference.
