Overview
The Washington 2028 1st-round pick is one of seven tied together in a two-tier swap. Brooklyn controls the main pool — its own pick plus Phoenix, New York, and Philadelphia (only if it falls 9–30) — and takes the two best. New York takes the worst of the New York, Brooklyn, and Phoenix picks. Whatever is left over feeds a Washington swap that can reach into a second pool with Milwaukee and Portland. See where this pick actually lands, and the full stage-by-stage breakdown, below.
