2023 NBA Mock Draft

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Arkansas. 8. player. 142. Guard. Anthony Black

The Wizards are such a mess. Their current front office was handed a turd in the form of Bradley Beal’s contract (which should serve as a cautionary tale to the league) and had to trade it for two cents on the dollar just to get it off the books.

So the Wiz appear to be starting their rebuild and they could easily be the worst team in the NBA next season, especially if both Porzingis and Kuzma flee, which is expected. If that happens, they will roll the dice on potential or try to trade up, possibly with the Detroit Pistons.

Black is hardly a guy who is going to have fans excited, especially after the way they have been treated over the years, but he at least gives them a solid playmaker and defender to start to build around.
