I was hoping this guy was not going to push himself as high as he is rumored to be going now. I have thought he would be the perfect fit for the Wizards at the SF spot with the 11th pick. Now it seems he will be long gone by then.
He seemed to have the versatility the Wizards currently use from the SF spot. For everything that MJ brings to the table, Jeffries has the ability to at least mimic with his driving, rebounding, shooting, and passing. Plus his size would not cause him to be a liability.
That leaves the Wizards currently with the 11th and 17th picks. A lot will depend on who falls to the 11th on Draft day, assuming the Wizards use their picks. If Wagner falls, It is hard to envision the Wizards not grabbing him, even though they have not worked him out.
The problem that leaves is that what SF are they going ot be looking for at 17? Hoping Nachbar falls is probably hoping too much with Houston needing a SF at 15. I think questions about Wagner's ability to run a team will mean the Wizards might pass on him and take the best SF available knowing that with Wagner, Dickau, Williams, and Welsch there after that pick, they will get a PG.
Here are some assumptions I have made. I am assuming the Wizards would accept any one of the PGs listed and that all 4 of them will not be taken with picks 12 through 16, though it is possible, I am also assuming that Wagner drops to 11. That may not be as much of a stretch because the depth at F and the propensity to bet on big.
The possible scenarios are large indeed on draft day and these were just some random thoughts after the latest trade.
