"The Washington Wizards have conducted the last of their workouts before Thursday's NBA draft, where they will look for the right pieces to continue rebuilding around point guard John Wall.
The team held workouts Monday, and two separate workouts Tuesday. Among the prospects on hand were George Mason guard Cam Long and Georgetown guard Chris Wright, both of whom were on their second visit to Verizon Center.
The Wizards already have started to hone the roster for next year by picking up the third-year option on Wall, Jordan Crawford, Trevor Booker and Kevin Seraphin. They also extended qualifying offers to Nick Young, Hamady Ndiaye, Larry Owens and Othyus Jeffers, all of whom are restricted free agents.
So far, they have not made offers to retain Yi Jinalian and Mustafa Shakur.
"It's an exciting time, anytime you have a draft where you have multiple picks," Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld said.
Barring a trade, the Wizards will have the sixth, 18th and 34th overall picks.
"We've brought in a lot of players because our wheelhouse is really long," Grunfeld said. "We've probably had in 60 players or so to workout and evaluate. We're going through a rebuilding process that we started last year."
The Wizards are young and will get even younger after this draft, providing they keep the players they select Thursday and not look to move any of their younger pieces for a veteran presence."
