With the No. 9 pick in the 2019 NBA draft, the Washington Wizards selected Rui Hachimura, a power forward out of Gonzaga. The 6-foot-9, 234 pounder is expected to be a stretch-four option for the Wizards. He is already 21 years old after three years of college. This was Washington’s highest selection since 2013 when they selected Otto Porter Jr. with the No. 3 pick.<\/p>\n
