The Wizards selected Johnny Davis at No. 10 and the shooting guard is ecstatic to begin his NBA journey in Washington.
“I was very excited for that moment,” Davis told the media on draft night. “I had been waiting for a long time, and more importantly, I’m really happy that my parents and my family are here to celebrate it with me.”
Davis also was asked about the possibility of learning under Bradley Beal assuming the All-Star guard re-signs in Washington.
“Basically anything,” Davis said of what he felt he could learn from Beal. “He’s a really good player. I’ve watched him play for quite some time now, especially the way he scores the basketball. Watching him play with pace and shoot the ball is almost like looking at a work of art.”
Beal is widely expected to re-sign with the Wizards once free agency begins.
