2020 NBA Draft: Lakers select Isaiah Jackson at No. 22, but will be traded to the Wizards for another trade with the Pacers for Aaron Holiday

Talk about one busy day for the Washington Wizards! The Wizards traded Russell Westbrook for several players and the No. 22 pick in this year’s draft. And they are still wheeling and dealing!

The Los Angeles Lakers selected Kentucky forward Isaiah Jackson with the No. 22 pick. Jackson averaged 8.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game last season. Though the trade is not official, the Wizards will have his rights, so that means he’s here, right?

Nope. Washington will trade Jackson to the Indiana Pacers for Aaron Holiday and move back to the No. 31 pick in the Draft.
