With the 6th pick in the 2011 NBA draft the Washington Wizards selected small forward Jan Vesely from KK Partizan Belgrade of the Czech Republic.
There was no surprise that the Wizards selected Vesely. The team invited staff members from the Czech Republic embassy to the Wizards draft party.
The 6’11” 240 pound Vesely averaged 10.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 26 games for Adriatic last season.
He is projected as either a small forward or power forward at the NBA level.
