For anyone asking "how did he fall to #57?!"... he could have gone much earlier in the 2nd but told teams not to draft him. He wanted to go to the Warriors because they had a role for him. Agents have a lot of sway on where 2nd rounders end up going now.

Any team with a pick ahead of #57 could have drafted him. Doesn't mean he would have signed, or his agent would have been happy, but they would have gotten rights to sign him for a year. And they chose not to.
We can’t keep getting away with this!
Nahh Warriors had their fair share of bad picks and signings
His second jump is elite, man gets off the ground so quickly
Already much better than Wiseman ever was. MDJ is on a fucking roll so far as our GM
TJD is who we thought Jordan Bell would be
Only cheaper. They paid $3.5M tp acquire Bell's draft rights while they only paid the Wizards $2M for TJD.
Meanwhile the Wizards have a severe lack of centers on their roster, played no real centers in their loss to Boston a couple nights ago, and the center they drafted in the second round is staying in Europe this year.
The more things change, the more they stay the same?
