Felix Okpara Heads to Washington in a Draft-Night Deal
The Orlando Magic drafted Tennessee center Felix Okpara at No. 46 and flipped him to the Washington Wizards for picks 51 and 60 in the 2026 NBA draft, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. The Lagos, Nigeria native averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks on 59.7 percent shooting as a senior, anchoring an Elite Eight defense with his length and rim protection. Okpara is a lob-finishing, shot-blocking big with little offensive polish, landing behind Anthony Davis and Alexandre Sarr on Washington's depth chart. That is where it gets interesting for fantasy: both starters have long injury histories, and Tristan Vukcevic is the only other guaranteed center, so Okpara could back into spot starts and cheap blocks if either big misses time. Trae Young's lob passing only sweetens the fit.
