The 2016–17 Washington Wizards season is the 56th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 44rd in the Washington, D.C. area. On April 14, 2016, the Wizards fired Randy Wittman after the team missed the playoffs. On April 26, 2016, the Wizards hired Scott Brooks to be their head coach.

Draft picks

The Wizards did not have a pick in the 2016 NBA draft, as they had traded both picks prior to the draft:

  • The first-round pick was traded away to the Phoenix Suns along with Kris Humphries and DeJuan Blair in exchange for Markieff Morris.
  • The second-round pick was traded away to the Atlanta Hawks, along with the rights to Jerian Grant and a second-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft, to allow the Wizards to move up in the 2015 NBA draft and acquire the rights to Kelly Oubre Jr.
