The Washington Wizards have selected Will Riley with the No. 21 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Riley was named Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year in 2025. He set the Illinois freshman record for points in a debut with 31 against Eastern Illinois and later broke the program’s freshman NCAA tournament scoring mark with 22 in a Round 1 win over Xavier.

On Wednesday night, Winger and Dawkins made another move. They traded the draft rights to 18th pick Walter Clayton Jr. to the Utah Jazz for the draft rights to 21st pick Will Riley, the 43rd pick, a 2031 second-round pick and a 2032 second-round pick.

The 19-year-old averaged 19.9 points as a freshman and could provide instant offense; rebuilding Wizards also get Illinois wing Will Riley via trade later in the first round.
