Forwards likely to go in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft

On this week's Bleav in Wizards podcast, I was joined by Ersin Demir of NBA Draft Junkies to break down the "fours" in this year's draft. As the lines between positions continue to blur, it's important to have forwards who offer positional versatility and lineup flexibility.

This year's class seems to have several prospects who not only offer that versatility but also might fit well with the Wizards' current roster. With Kristaps Porzingis likely to return, the Wizards could use a player who is a better fit next to him. This would allow Daniel Gafford to come off the bench and enable the team to stop playing two drop coverage bigs together.
