The Atlanta Hawks took Kansas wing Kelly Oubre Jr. with the No. 15 overall pick on Thursday night but later sent him to the Washington Wizards.
In the deal, the Wizards sent Atlanta two second-round picks and the 19th overall pick -- Notre Dame's Jerian Grant -- for the rights to Oubre.
Then, the Hawks sent Grant to the New York Knicks for Tim Hardaway Jr.
The 20-year-old Oubre, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 200 pounds, averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in his lone season with the Jayhawks.
Chad Ford had Oubre as high as No. 5 on his Big Board during the season, but ranked him 16th in his final edition. Ford noted that Oubre needs time to develop, as he is "further away than a lot of the other players on the board."
Ford's analysis: "He's very young and his basketball IQ is low. ...If he puts in the work -- a big if -- he could be one of the best 8 or 9 players in this draft."
With their second-round pick, No. 49 overall, the Wizards took Iowa power forward Aaron White. The 60th-ranked prospect on Ford's board, White posted 16.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Hawkeyes as a senior.
Ford's analysis: "He hustles and rebounds and gets up and down the floor. ...I'm not sure if White is good enough to be more than a 10th or 12th man."
