Washington, Duane  Ohio St.  6'2" 196 SG jr. 

Washington is a thirsty, right-handed, combo-guard that can get buckets. He averaged 16.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. He shot 37.4% 3-pt. fg, and made 83.5% of his free throws. His assist-to-turnover ratio is 1.34-to-1. …Defensively, Washington's numbers are pretty bad. His DEFRTG was 5.2 points worse than the Ohio St. team DEFRTG. That's a big number. ...We don't believe Washington will be drafted. Despite striking us as a sharp kid that can look good offensively, the depth at the SG position in the NBA coupled with Washington's defensive liabilities would lead us to pass on him. 

 

Our best advice: in 2009, the 6th pick was Jonny Flynn. We advised, "draft Stephen Curry."
