The 2019β20 Washington Wizards season was the 59th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 47th in the Washington, D.C. area. The Wizards made front office changes, most notably firing former general manager Ernie Grunfeld late last season, replacing him with his longtime assistant, Tommy Sheppard.
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11 [1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. [2]
On June 4, the Wizards were one of 22 teams invited to the NBA Bubble.
Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College |

With their sole natural selection of the draft in the first round, the Wizards selected Japanese born power forward Rui Hachimura from Gonzaga University. The team later acquired the rights to the Philadelphia 76ers 42nd pick, small forward Admiral Schofield, in a trade. [3]
