• WASHINGTON (AP) -- Randy Wittman went through some anxious moments before it came time for the Washington Wizards to use the third overall pick in the NBA draft.
• Washington's coach didn't care who went first and second -- as long as it wasn't Georgetown sophomore forward Otto Porter, Jr.
• And so, after Cleveland took UNLV forward Anthony Bennett and Orlando selected guard Victor Oladipo of Indiana on Thursday night, the Wizards didn't come close to using their allotted five minutes before choosing the 6-foot-8 Porter.
• "I was worried," Wittman said. "I told the kid when he came here, 'Don't go visit anyplace else.' You never know. You feel somebody's going to grab him, and it could have happened. I don't think anybody really had a great idea the order that it went, with Bennett and Oladipo going 1 and 2."

• Washington also had two second-round picks, but a person familiar with the situation said the Wizards traded those selections to the 76ers for guard Glen Rice Jr., who was taken by Philadelphia with the 35th pick.

• Porter, however, is the gem of the Wizards' draft. Washington could have had Nerlens Noel of Kentucky, Alex Len of Maryland or just about anyone else with the third choice.
• They wanted Porter. Period.
• "We had our board in order, and when it was our time to pick, he was the highest rated guy on our board," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. "We're pleased to
