#6 Rui Hachimura
With the 9th overall pick, the Washington Wizards introduced Rui Hachimura to their lineup. Hachimura played for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in his college career and had 3 really productive seasons there. He averaged 19.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game in the 2018-19 college season and left a very strong impression on some NBA scouts and this landed him in the NBA draft this off-season.
Right now, Hachimura is averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists a game. While his 3-point is game is not good, his soft touch at the rim and mid-range jumpers are rock solid.

His 6'8" tall structure is really helping him getting boards at both ends of the floor and his defense will be his greatest asset throughout his basketball career and it looks likes the Wizards have found another explosive offensive talent like John Wall in Hachimura, but this time as a Power Forward.
