Two Ukrainians selected in second round of 2018 NBA draft
The Washington Wizards have had a recent history of trading away their second-round draft picks for veteran players or cash. In 2018 the Wizards deviated from the past, selecting Ukrainian Issuf Sanon as the 44th overall pick. The 6-4 combo guard plays for Olimpija in Slovenia. He was slated to play for Washington in the Summer League in July of this year, but will remain overseas for at least the upcoming 2018-2019 season.
