Isaiah Todd was selected with the first pick of the second round (31st overall) to the Milwaukee Bucks. Todd reportedly was acquired by the Washington Wizards after two reported trades on Thursday.
Each player was a five-star high school recruit in 2020 before joining the Ignite, which was launched to help develop young players in a one-year program focused on “NBA Draft readiness and growth of professional life skills.”
