Michael Kidd-Gilchrist doesn’t like to lose, even so much that he said he will probably cry a lot if happens too much early on in the NBA.
Any early draftee hopeful would love for a contender to trade up and select them so the losing won’t tear them down.
MKG thinks the Washington Wizards, who sits at #3 on the draft board, aren’t that far away and he could be that missing piece to making the playoffs.

Kidd-Gilchrist would certainly give the Wizards another player who shares Wall’s intense desire to win. He also has a relationship with Wall after working out with him a few days last year in Lexington. Kidd-Gilchrist played on the same high school team as Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving, who gave him some simple advice about the next level.
“It’s a man’s league,” Kidd-Gilchrist said Irving told him. “That’s about it.”
