06/25/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Wizards acquired the draft rights of forward Trevor Booker and center Hamady N'Diaye from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for the rights to Lazar Hayward and Nemanja Bjelica.

"We are very pleased to add Trevor Booker and Hamady N'Diaye to our roster on an exciting night for our franchise," said Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld. "Trevor is a strong rebounder and hard-nosed defender with an aggressive mentality. He is a real competitor who will bring a strong desire and physicality to our team. Hamady also plays with toughness and a lot of effort, and has an excellent ability to block shots."

Booker was chosen 23rd overall out of Clemson. N'Diaye was taken 56th out of Rutgers, while Hayward was the 30th pick from Marquette and Bjelica was taken 35th overall.

The only player in ACC history with 1,500 career points, 1,000 rebounds, 200 blocks, 200 assists and 100 steals, Booker led Clemson to three NCAA Tournament appearances in his four seasons with the Tigers. Booker averaged 15.2 points and 8.4 rebounds last season.
