Draft Star May Major Washington targets trade

The Wizards are stuck with 6 dials in May NBA draft Lottery, but they have a lot of capital to move upwards from that place. However, for whom maybe they will surprise them.

Washington is allegedly Interested in trading Bailor Wing VJ Edgecombe, through NBA Insader Jake Fischer.

“One team that is increasingly mentioned by league managers, which is interested in trading for Edgecombe: Washington,” reported on Wednesday. “And just adds to intrigue around the wizard: they hold no. 6 and no. 18 selections in the first round, which has rivaled viewing teams as a potential triple partner for Filadelphia and Charlotte partner.”

EdgeCombe has a skill to progress as a “tro and” player in the NBA. 6-foot-5-inch, freshmen 185 kilograms are on average 15 points to 43.6 percent shootings (34 percent 3 pt) and amounted to 20 blocks with 68 steals in 33 bears for bears. He and a colleague Bilal Coulibali could form a locking defense Duo on the rim if Washington bought it.

However, should the wizards target Edgecombe over Rutgers Wing Ace Bailey or Texas Guard Tre Johnson? What is a reasonable trading package sent?

VJ Edgecombe should be the second priority of the wizard

At this point, Washington has several young players who can develop into beginners / players of roles, but are not probably the stars. Coulibali, Alek Sarr, Kishavn George, Bub Carrington, and aj Johnson, but not at the level that for example, for example, they showed as if they were Doncycam or Luke Doncic.

That is why Bailey should be the priority of the wizard in the collection scenario. 6-foot-7.5-inch (in socks), a 7-foot wing praised with 7.5 feet, almost a ninth foot standing reach and elite athleticism, which helped him compose one of them Most explosive stresses In college basketball this last season.

Edgecombe doesn’t have fairy size or mention the ability to make recordings, which makes the last prospectus more upside down. However, the large 12 freshmen in the year could form a deep, long-term rotation of wings with coulibalia and George thanks to its high motors and two-way talents.

EdgeCombe is an explosive athlete in accordance with its right, as is its 38.5-inch vertical leap Turning all the projected top-five types on the draft combination, per nba.com. The verticality and speed of the Bahamian International help him get to the rim to be easily grabs, which Washington could use to collapse and open the look outside for players like Carrington who do not have the same driver’s ability.

Meanwhile, Johnson is an excellent shooter and dribbles and catch (39.7 percent 3 pt), but only 20 percent of his total shots occurred in Longhorns on the rim of Longhorns this last season. Chief-6-inch, a 190-kilo Guard has talent to be Washington’s playmaker in the future, but he will not understand his full potential without improving his drive game. That’s why Edgecombebe is a better option.
