Admiral Schofield had a very successful four year career at the University of Tennessee. Under the guidance of head coach Rick Barnes. Schofield was able to grow leaps and bounds as a basketball player and man under Barnes’ leadership. He was able to establish himself as a legit NBA Prospect. Schofield was drafted in the second round at pick number 42 by the Philadelphia 76ers. His rights were then traded to the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are definitely happy to have him in the fold. It is expected that Schofield and first round pick Rui Hachimura contribute on the court immediately. The Wizards went into the NBA Draft with this plan to find players that can contribute positively to the Wizards success immediately. With Schofield’s skill set there is no reason why he should not be able to do just that.
