The NBA Draft Lottery has come and gone and your Washington Wizards ended up with the ninth pick. Sound familiar? The Wizards took forward Rui Hachimura with the ninth pick in last year’s draft. Some of the more high-profile players to go ninth in the last decade include: Gordon Hayward (2010), Kemba Walker (2011), Andre Drummond (2012), Jakob Poeltl (2016), and Kevin Knox (2018).
