The Washington Wizards selected Walter Clayton, Jr. No. 18 overall on Wednesday in the 2025 NBA Draft from the University of Florida.
In his senior season in 2024-25, Clayton led the Gators to the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship and was the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. That said, Clayton will be a Wizards player in name only.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Wizards will trade Clayton to the Utah Jazz for the No. 21 pick.
