Draft picks

Main article: 2016 NBA draft

The Wizards did not have a pick in the 2016 NBA draft, as they had traded both picks prior to the draft:[4]

• The first-round pick was traded away to the Phoenix Suns along with Kris Humphries and DeJuan Blair in exchange for Markieff Morris.
• The second-round pick was traded away to the Atlanta Hawks, along with the rights to Jerian Grant and a second-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft, to allow the Wizards to move up in the 2015 NBA draft and acquire the rights to Kelly Oubre Jr.
