142. Pick Analysis. 6-foot-3 | G. Tyrese Maxey. Scouting Report. Kentucky. 9. player

The future in Washington is up in the air, with John Wall‘s health and Bradley Beal‘s demand on the trade market. Wall’s contract is the only thing that’s certain to be in Washington next season, so adding a talent like Maxey to the backcourt would be a win here. Maxey is a combo guard who gets after it defensively and should bring life to an organization that desperately needs some sort of spark.
