It’s been about two years since Washington Wizards fans worried about the NBA Draft.

With the Wizards facing elimination against the Atlanta Hawks, fans aren’t necessarily concentrating on the draft.

But, that doesn’t mean Ernie Grunfeld and the rest of Washington’s front office hasn’t worked diligently all season long, looking for a player to add with their mid first-round pick in June.

The NBA Draft Combine has begun and the Wizards have started the interviewing process. Like the rest of the teams, members of Washington’s front office will sit down with a number of prospects before they begin individual workouts at the Verizon Center.

According to Jabari Young and Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press, the Washington Wizards have met with Branden Dawson and Joseph Young:

Dawson said he has met with the Washington Wizards, the L.A. Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans.

Young is a 6’2″ combo-guard out of Oregon. He averaged nearly 21 points per game during his senior year and is ranked as the 53rd best prospect in this upcoming draft on DraftExpress.

Dawson is 6’6″ forward out of Michigan State. He averaged about 12 points and 10 rebounds per game in just one season under Coach Tom Izzo. He’s ranked as the 84th best prospect in this upcoming draft on DraftExpress.

Washington will have the 19th overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, so neither Young nor Dawson is expected to be their pick at that spot.

But, during the draft, teams constantly communicate and Washington could acquire a second round pick. Last year, Washington chose to trade their second round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers. They picked Jordan Clarkson, who will likely be named to an All-Rookie Team.

Even if the Washington Wizards don’t pick in the second round this year, they could still add prospects to their summer league roster. This past summer they added Khem Birch along with a number of other players that had legitimate chances to make the roster.

Besides a few additions via free agency, the Washington Wizards’ roster won’t change much next season. Their core pieces are all under contract. Right now, they could use another guard or a big man that’s capable of stretching the floor. Of course, those needs could also be filled in free agency.

It should be interested to see what they end up doing in June.
