2012 NBA Draft Rumors: John Wall Wants Washington to Draft a Guard or Forward

Found June 03, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: John Wall,  Trevor Booker,  Kevin Seraphin,  Jan Vesely,  Andray Blatche,  Brian Cook
TEAMS: Washington Wizards

John Wall wants the Wizards to improve fast. He isn't shy about what his team should do at the end of this month in the NBA Draft.

Wall brings up a good point that they need more energy on the team and adding a legit shooting guard or small forward should do that. With those words being said, Wall wants Bradley Beal or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in a Wizards uniform next season.

Washington has Nene, Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin, Jan Vesely, Andray Blatche, and Brian Cook as their big men. I would have to think Thomas Robinson or Andre Drummond would vastly improve that category for the Wizards this season.

Reports say though that Washington is considering Beal and Kidd-Gilchrist with the third pick, so Wall is spot on with that.

We'll see if Wall gets what he wants on June 28 or they will go with a big like Robinson or Drummond.
