2026 NBA Draft: Washington Wizards Host Pre-Draft Workouts

With all the attention focused on what the Washington Wizards will do with its first pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the front office was able to bring in a host of prospects in for pre-draft workouts who could land with the team given the pair of second round picks in hand on day two.

Texas Tech guard Donovan Atwell: after playing the first three seasons of his career at UNC-Greensboro, Atwell transferred to the Red Raiders where he proved to be just as much of a scoring threat. Atwell set career highs in points (13.5), field goal shooting (46.3%) and three point shooting (45.8) during the 2025-26 season with the projected second-round pick becoming both an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and Newcomer Team selection. Atwell also set a program record with 130 made threes.

Michigan guard Nimari Brunett: after transferring from Texas Tech to Alabama to Michigan where he ultimately became a national champ, Burnett never eclipsed double figures scoring in any of his five seasons while shooting at least 40% from three just once. Streaky scorer, though shot at least 45% from the field in each of his last two seasons.

Arizona guard Anthony Dell'orso: after transferring from Campbell to Arizona for his final two seasons, the Australian guard became a rotational piece for the Wildcats in 2025-26 while averaging 8.5 points and two rebounds per game.

Indiana forward Tucker DeVries: a high volume scorer who followed his dad and head coach, Darian DeVries, from Drake to West Virginia (played eight games) then Indiana, DeVries has averaged double figures scoring in all five seasons while shooting at least 40% from the field in all but one season - with the exception being his lone season as a Hoosier where he shot 39.7% from the field.

Michigan State guard Jeremy Fears Jr.: became a rotational piece his first two seasons before breaking out in year three, averaging 15.2 points and 9.4 assists while starting in all 35 games. Also averaged at least one steal per game in each of his last two seasons, though found himself in the headlines for multiple questionable fouls during the 2025-26 season.

Kansas State guard Nate Johnson: an Akron transfer who spent his final season with the Wildcats, Johnson averaged double figures scoring in each of his last two seasons while proving himself as an inside-out scorer. Washington was able to get a look at Johnson at the Portsmouth Invitational with general manger Will Dawkins in attendance.

BYU forward Keba Keita: despite never averaging double figures scoring, Keita proved to be a rim protector where he averaged at least seven rebounds in each of the last two seasons and 1.8 blocks as a senior in just 22.6 minutes. Keita opened the season named to the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watch List. Keita etched his name into BYU's record books in multiple categories for both blocks and rebounds.

Virginia Tech forward Tobi Lawal: Lawal was in attendance for the scouting combine where he registered an eye-popping 45.5-inch max vertical, 40-inch standing vertical and 11.15 second lane agility while measuring in at 6-foot-7.25. Averaged double figures scoring in each of his last two seasons with the Hokies while shooting at least 51% in all four seasons.

Miami (FL) forward Malik Reneau: a former blue chip prospect and an Indiana transfer, Reneau posted career-highs in both points (18.9) and rebounds (6.5) during his lone season with the Canes.

ECU guard Jordan Riley: another who Washington was able to watch at the Portsmouth Invitational, Riley posted a career year with the Pirates last season after averaging 23.6 points while becoming the fourth player in program history to eclipse 1,000 points in an ECU uniform.

Miami (OH) guard Peter Suder: part of the Miami (OH) team that took the college basketball world by storm into the postseason after ending the regular season with a perfect record, Suder was a key part of that after the senior guard averaged 14.8 points on 54.6% shooting and 42.1% from three, all marking career highs. Suder was named a First Team All-MAC selection while starting in all 33 games. He's also another who Washington got a chance to watch in Portsmouth.
