CHICAGO -- The Wizards need 3-point shooting and one of the 2023 NBA Draft's best outside shooters hails from their own backyard. Jordan Hawkins, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who starred for the national champion UConn Huskies, grew up in nearby Gaithersburg, MD. He attended Gaithersburg High School and then DeMatha Catholic before playing two years in college. Hawkins has emerged as a likely first-round pick after making 38.8% of his threes last season on 7.6 attempts per game. NBC Sports Washington's mock draft projects Hawkins to go 17th overall.
