NBA Draft Rumors: Washington Wizards Pursuing Jan Vesely with No. 6 Pick When the Washington Wizards select no. 6 overall, the team is going to look toward drafting a big man. Although Enes Kanter has been rumored to be a favorite of the team, the Turkish prospect may not even be on the board when the Wizards make their selection. Washington needs a forward to pair with budding young center JaVale McGee, and drafting Jan Vesely would really represent a smart move for the franchise. MUST READ: 9 Biggest Potential Draft Day Trades Washington Wizards insider Michael Lee reports that Vesely is a realistic option for the team, and the 6'11" prospect from the Czech Republic is highly intriguing for the rapidly re-building club. For what it's worth, Nick Young has also said that he'd like to see the Wizards draft Vesely, but the breakout scorer may not even be back with the club next season. Washington is hoping to turn it around in a hurry and be competitive sooner rather than later, and drafting Vesely presents a prime way to ascertain that goal.
