The Washington Wizards have wrapped up a two-day sprint of pre-draft visits with every player projected to go in the top four of the upcoming NBA Draft. General manager Will Dawkins and president Michael Winger used the meetings to assess each elite talent before the draft opens, where the franchise holds the first overall pick and is expected to target a playmaking guard.

The final stop was Duke forward Cam Boozer, who joined the Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls in Washington. Boozer entered the conversation with a résumé that includes National Player of the Year, the Pete Newell Big Man Award, the Karl Malone Award, the Lute Olson Award, National Freshman of the Year, ACC Player of the Year, ACC Rookie of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP and First-Team All-ACC honors. At the NBA scouting combine he measured a seven-foot-1.5-inch wingspan and a nine-foot standing reach, placing him among the most physically gifted big men in the class.

Washington’s immediate roster concern is front-court depth. Alex Sarr is sidelined for most of the preseason after offseason surgery, and veteran Anthony Davis has missed significant time over the past two seasons. Those absences give Boozer a realistic chance to land in Washington, though his skill set is that of a traditional post player rather than the guard-first focus that the team has advertised.

The broader draft narrative centers on AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson, the two prospects most likely to be called first overall. Boozer is widely projected as a potential second-overall selection, and his visits to multiple teams underscore the league-wide interest in a player who could anchor a front line. The Wizards’ willingness to sit down with every top prospect suggests they are weighing a shift from a guard-centric blueprint to a more balanced roster construction.

With the clock ticking toward the upcoming draft, Washington faces a classic trade-off: trade down for additional assets and pursue a high-upside guard, or lock in Boozer and address the immediate need for size and rim protection. Either path will define the franchise’s strategy for the next three years and set the tone for Dawkins’ and Winger’s tenure.
