Hachimura has great size and can punish smaller players in the paint, but this pick was reach. He shot well from 3-point range, but didn't shoot enough for that to be significant. At 21 years of age, Hachimura is 1-2 years older than the majority of players drafted around him, which hurts his ceiling a bit. The Wizards had a need at power forward, but I don't think Hachimura was the answer here. Sekou Doumbouya would've been a better-high upside pick (and, admittedly, another reach at number 9), but I could see why Washington would rather have a more polished player to pair with Bradley Beal and John Wall (whenever he returns.) They did manage to draft the player with the coolest name in the draft with their selection of Admiral Schofield. Schofield has a great 3-point shot, but his subpar athleticism will make it difficult to stay on the floor against some of the quicker wing players in the league.
