Washington grabbed its third prospect at the 2024 draft via trade.
The Wizards made another deal at Wednesday night's draft, trading with the New York Knicks to land the No. 24 overall pick, where they selected Kyshawn George of Miami. Washington traded No. 26 and No. 51.
With its first two selections, the team took Alex Sarr at No. 2 and jumbo guard Bub Carrington at No. 14. Originally from Switzerland, George is a 6-foot-9 wing with guard skills. As a freshman at Miami last season, George played a more complimentary role, but thrived as he made 40.8% of his 3-pointers and also dished out more than two assists per game. Although he’s already 20 years old despite being a one-and-done college player, George is still an unfinished prospect who could continue to improve significantly with time.
