Did the Wiz have cap space? Cause Simmons has a salary of nearly $6 million.

Really impressed with how accurate Fred Katz's reporting on our draft was.  He predicted we would buy a second round pick.  He said the rationale behind it is we want to tie the Go-Go closer to the team and make them more of a AAA affiliate for the Wizards.

 

He's plugged in.

espn's write up on Schofield:

Pre-Draft Analysis

After starting his college career shooting 30 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman, Schofield turned himself into a marksman as a senior, making big shot after big shot all season long -- many of them coming from NBA range and even off the dribble. He has sped up his release and flashed some ability to shoot off movement. He's making tough spot-ups with a hand in his face thanks to his high release and is demonstrating extreme confidence.

Schofield saw almost all of his minutes at small forward, which might not always be the case in the NBA, where his mammoth frame could serve him well as a small-ball power forward, and his weaknesses may be better hidden. He's a little undersized and not the most fluid or natural athlete, but his physicality, aggressiveness and competitiveness will serve him well. He plays the game with a real edge that is tough not to admire. That same toughness translates to the defensive end, where he plays with a terrific motor and uses his strength and length to slide on the perimeter. He has plenty of multipositional versatility.

Some scouts question how much Schofield's clunky, power-ball style and average feel will hold up and whether he might become a one-dimensional player at the NBA level given his poor rebounding, steal and block numbers and paltry free throw attempts. He has been able to keep those notions at bay to an extent with some extremely memorable performances against top-10 teams in Kansas and Gonzaga, which will likely stick with NBA folks considering how well-attended those games were.
