The Wizards entered this draft period (which lasted for two days, similar to the previous year's draft) holding two first-round picks and one second-round pick.[1][2] With their #6 lottery pick, the Wizards drafted Tre Johnson from Texas. The Wizards also executed a trade on draft night with the Utah Jazz that sent their #18 Pick (Walter Clayton Jr.) to Utah, in exchange for the rights to their #21 Pick (Will Riley), #43 Pick (Jamir Watkins) the following night, and two future second-round picks.[3] The #40 Pick (Micah Peavy) was bundled in a trade proposal to the New Orleans Pelicans prior to the draft.[4]
