The Wizards have signed rookie Kevin Seraphin, the seventeenth overall pick in June's NBA Draft.

Washington acquired Seraphin in a draft-day trade with Chicago.

Seraphin, who hails from French Guyana, spent the past four years playing for Cholet Basket.

The French club signed him to a three-year contract in August, and he had to negotiate a buyout in order to join the Wizards.
