2019 NBA Mock Draft: Two-round post-lottery mock
Gonzaga University. Rui Hachimura. 9. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward. 142
Washington, another faller in the draft, is in complete shambles. While it is unclear if the team is going to rebuild or try to return to contention in 2019-2020, Rui Hachimura can help the Wizards to do both. As a very solid and NBA-ready player, Hachimura may not have the highest ceiling, but also has a very high floor.
Hachimura can do a bit of everything on the court and his ability to play both forward positions is a big bonus for Washington.
Guard. Indiana University. 10. Scouting Report. Romeo Langford. player. 125. Pick Analysis
With their second pick in the top ten, the Hawks address the shooting guard position by selecting Romeo Langford out of Indiana. Langford was a high-profile high school recruit and has shown the ability to score at a high level.
Playing alongside Trae Young will be a good fit, as Langford has shown to be a much more effective finisher and mid-range scorer than a perimeter player, although he does show promise in his three-point shooting.
