The Washington Wizards were full of surprises on the night of the 2019 NBA Draft. When they were on the clock with the ninth pick, Cam Reddish was still in the midst of his draft day slide and available. Nassir Little, who impressed the Wizards in his pre-draft workout, was there for the taking. Even international prospect Sekou Doumbouya who was predicted to be the Wizards first-round pick in many mock drafts was still undrafted.
Instead, the Wizards chose Rui Hachimura out of Gonzaga.
Then, as the first round was winding down, the Wizards decided to get back in on the action and traded cash considerations to the Philadelphia 76ers for Jonathon Simmons and the 42nd overall pick.
