Riley, a forward, played for the Illinois Fighting Illini in the 2024-25 NCAA college season
The Utah Jazz selected Will Riley at No. 21 overall on Wednesday in the 2025 NBA Draft. Riley played college basketball at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Riley is with the Jazz in name only, because he is expected to be traded to the Washington Wizards, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. We have more clarity on the second round picks that Washington will get in this No. 18 (Walter Clayton) for No. 21 swap. The Wizards will get the No. 43 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and second round picks in 2031 and 2032.
Utah sent No. 43 and second-rounders in 2031 and 2032 to Washington in this deal. https://t.co/lNZR5jaPes
