2007

Nick Young, 16th overall

Guys taken after No. 16: Jared Dudley, Wilson Chandler, Tiago Splitter, Aaron Afflao

Dominic McGuire, 47th overall

Swaggy P!!! Bring him back to D.C.!

The Wizards got five seasons of Young and for most of them, he was part of what became an embarrassing situation for the franchise. The only time the Wizards were being talked about by the mainstream media was when something absurd had taken place again.

And Young’s joking ways were taken the wrong way by some people. He had some decent years as a Wizard, averaging 17.4 points per game in 2010-11. He just never put it all together as a player.

McGuire played three seasons in Washington, starting 57 games in 2008-09. The small forward was a hustle player, but was limited offensively.

Grade: C
