Otto Porter, SF Georgetown (3)
The Wizards were clearly not sold on Nerlens Noel's knee, because if they were then certainly he would have been the choice over Porter. The Wizards were likely deciding between Porter and Anthony Bennett, so when Bennett went 1-1, Porter was the obvious choice to them. He fills a need at small forward and gives the Wizards a tremendous young nucleus. Porter is unselfish and will fit in nicely with his do it all ability.
Second Round
Glen Rice Jr, G/F D-League (35)
One of the steals of the draft, Rice Jr. was clearly a first round pick and very talented. His troubled past is likely what contributed to his fall, but it's rare to find a 6-6, 211 wing with a 40+ inch vertical that can really shoot the ball. Rice Jr. will be a shooter and defender off the bench for Washington, who could use both.
Projected Rotation
PG: John Wall/A.J. Price (FA)
SG: Brad Beal/Glen Rice Jr.
