#2: Washington Wizards select Zaccharie Risacher 

Leave it to the Wizards to wait until after the generational prospect is gone to really lean into tanking with gusto. 

Now they are looking to load up on draft picks in what is widely considered one of the weakest drafts of the last decade. Smart moves, Wiz! I’m glad to see there is at least one team out there as poorly run as the Pistons. 

Washington grabs two-way wing Zaccharie Risacher here to kick off their rebuild. Risacher has the chance to be the best wing player in this draft, a guy who can create his own shot, pass, shoot from range and defend, the Wizards make a nice splash on a day where they will be busy.
