Local NBA Draft prospects, projects and sleepers

WASHINGTON — As of the writing of this piece, the Washington Wizards own the 15th and 44th overall picks in Thursday night’s NBA Draft. However, as we well know from years past, that may change at any point up through the selection process itself.

Last year, the Wizards traded their lone pick, the 52nd overall, for guard Tim Frazier. Two years ago, they traded their first-round pick for Markieff Morris.

The point being, we have no idea what Washington might do. But we do know that there are plenty of players with local ties that are likely to either get drafted or signed after the draft on Thursday night.

The numbers below each name are their respective pre-draft rankings for ESPN, SI, Basketball Insiders, and NBADraft.net.
