2024–25 Washington Wizards season

The 2024–25 Washington Wizards season is the 64th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 51st in the Washington, D.C. area. On May 29, 2024, the Washington Wizards hired Brian Keefe as their full-time head coach.^[1]

Round	Pick	Player	Position	Nationality	College
1	2	Alex Sarr	PF	France	Perth Wildcats Australia
1	26	Dillon Jones	SF	United States	Weber State
2	51	Melvin Ajinça	SF	France	Sanit-Quentin LNB Élite

The Wizards entered the draft holding two first-round picks and one second round pick.^[2][3] The Wizards would not swap their top pick with either the Memphis Grizzlies or the Phoenix Suns this year following their Bradley Beal trade from last season since their pick remained the best out of three possible selections this year.

With the #2 Overall selection, the Wizards drafted the tall French prospect Alex Sarr from the Perth Wildcats in Australia. Shortly before the start of the draft, the Wizards traded Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers and got their #14 pick as part of the return, which they used on Bub Carrington from Pittsburgh. During the first draft night, the Wizards then struck a trade with the New York Knicks to move up two spots, giving their last two picks of this year's draft (#26 and #51) to acquire the rights to the Knicks' #24 pick, which became Kyshawn George.
