Since interim head coach Brian Keefe took over, the Washington Wizards have been playing much better basketball.

The Wizards even found a way to win consecutive games, both of those wins against the teams they are fighting for draft position with.

Washington is still sitting pretty though with its chances at a high draft pick as we continue on breaking down the top 10 Wizards draft prospects.

Washington Wizards Draft Prospects: University of Colorado Forward Cody Williams

We have already covered three possible draft targets for Washington in Perth Wildcats center Alexandre Sarr, Colorado Buffaloes forward Cody Williams and Serbian guard Nikola Topic.

This week we are looking at the super athletic G-League Ignite forward Ron Holland.

Holland was originally committed to the University of Texas but opted for the G-League instead.

He is listed at 6'8" and weighs 206 pounds, bringing plenty size to the table at the small forward position.

With the Ignite this season he is averaging 20.6 points per game on 44.3 percent shooting while averaging 6.6 rebounds.

Holland is yet another guy in this draft that is struggling to shoot the ball from three-point range, only making 24.3 percent from deep.

Turning the ball over has been a serious issue also as he is turning it over three times a game and has a 1.05 assist to turnover ratio.

But he makes up for it with his superior athleticism and open court speed.

In transition he is extremely fast and finishes above the rim but has also shown flashes of great vision also.

Defensively, he is still raw but his length is disruptive and he can force turnovers that lead into easy buckets at the other end.

There is a lot of questions around Holland but because this draft class is lighter his raw talent and athleticism is keeping him at the top of the draft class.

If the Wizards do take Holland you will get to see some highlight reel dunks and he has probably the best bounce out of everyone in the draft class.

Next week we will be half way through the 10 draft prospect for the Washington Wizards and we will be looking at one of the more intriguing players in French forward Zaccharie Risacher.
