Draft picks

Main article: 2024 NBA draft

Round	Pick	Player	Position	Nationality	College
1	2	Alex Sarr	PF	France	Perth Wildcats France
1	26	Dillon Jones	SF	United States	Weber State
2	51	Melvin Ajinça	SF	France	Sanit-Quentin LNA Pro A

The Wizards entered the draft holding two first-round picks and one second round pick. The Wizards would not swap their top pick with either the Memphis Grizzlies or the Phoenix Suns this year following their Bradley Beal trade from last season since their pick remained the best out of three possible selections this year.

With the #2 Overall selection, the Wizards drafted the tall French prospect Alex Sarr. Shortly before the start of the draft, the Wizards traded Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers and got their #14 pick as part of the return, which they used on Bub Carrington from Pittsburgh. During the first draft night, the Wizards then struck a trade with the New York Knicks to move up two spots, giving their last two picks of this year's draft (#26 and #51) to acquire the rights to the Knicks' #24 pick, which became Kyshawn George.
