The 21-year-old native of Strakonice was chosen by Washington in the second round last November in the second round, but was subsequently replaced in Oklahoma. The tailor has been out of the game for most of the past season due to a knee injury.
In the duel of the Spanish league Zaragoza against Real Madrid on September 25, he broke his anterior cruciate ligament and during the operation it was found that both menisci were damaged. During rehabilitation, he was included on the roster of the Oklahoma City Blue G-League reserve team.

The tailor worked in Zaragoza from the age of 14 and two years later made his debut in the Spanish ACB League. In February 2019, for the first time in the domestic match of the World Cup qualification in Pardubice against Bosnia, he played for the national team. He did not make it to the World Championships in China, where the team of coach Ronen Ginzburg finished sixth, during the last cut at the end of August 2019 in Shanghai. Injuries prevented him from fighting for the Tokyo Olympics.
In the 2019/20 season, Tailors played 37 matches for Zaragoza in the Spanish League, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League, averaging 3.2 points and 1.2 rebounds, a shooting success of 55.4 percent and an average of 9.2 minutes per game.
Krejčí was drafted as the fifth Czech basketball player in history. All of his predecessors also appeared in the NBA. Jiří Zídek Jr. was chosen by Charlotte in 22nd place in 1995 and also played for Denver and Seattle. Seven years later, she chose Philadelphia Jiří Welsch in 15th place, but he did not play for him and worked in Golden State, Boston, Cleveland and Milwaukee.
In 2011, Jan Veselý, who also presented himself to the NBA in the Denver jersey, was the sixth draft due to the interest of Washington. Nine years ago, Washington chose Tomáš Satoranský, who is the only Czech representative in the NBA for the last five seasons. After three years in the Wizards jersey, he moved to Chicago and was exchanged for New Orleans this summer.
