Early Mock NBA Draft Outlines Wizards Future

Coveted Scoring Versatility

"Cameron Boozer going for 15 points and 13 boards with four stocks on an off night should be telling," Wasserman writes. "He's going to find a way to make an impact, regardless, which we saw when he imposed his physicality on Texas after struggling to convert on touch and finesse shots in the first half."

"The 250-pound big man bounced back to hit four threes in his second game for Duke," he continued, "an encouraging and scary sign this early."

"Boozer will win the majority of his battles around the basket, but it's the expanding perimeter game—both with his shot and ability to put the ball down and attack with body control—that creates such a mismatch and coveted scoring versatility from the 4 or 5 positions."

With Alex Sarr already heading up Washington's front court in what has been a breakout sophomore year so far, adding Boozer — the son of infamous NBA hard-head Carlos Boozer — would surely be a nice compliment in the paint.

To boot, the Wizards used their top pick in this past draft to address the opposite end of the lineup, bringing in scoring-heavy guard Tre Johnson to run their back court for the assumed foreseeable future. Wizards fans have spent far too long hoping for things that haven't happened yet, but given their current roster trends, Boozer's potential addition could be the final piece of the puzzle to a successful rebuild.
