2. Devin Robinson

Devin Robinson comes in at 6’8″, 178 pounds from the University of Florida. This athletic wing declared for the draft in 2016, but withdrew after an unfortunate foot injury hurt his stock. Staying one more year in college may have turned out to be a good thing for Robinson.

During his junior year, he increased his points per game, rebounds per game, field goal percentage and three-point percentage. Robinson made a jump in maturity and came back from his foot injury looking stronger than ever.

If there’s one thing that might make him stand out to the Wizards, it’s his uptick in three-point shooting. In the 2016-17 college season he shot 39.1 percent from beyond the arc. An athletic wing like him that can shoot the three consistently has “Otto Porter Jr. protege” written all over him.

If Robinson can gain some muscle, keep grabbing rebounds and shoot a high percentage, he could turn into a fantastic change of pace guy for the Washington Wizards
