Sunday afternoon, fans saw the NBA Draft Lottery unfold and see the Washington Wizards win the lottery. They had the best odds of winning the lottery, as fans also saw the Chicago Bulls get incredible draft luck by landing at four, and the Los Angeles Clippers secured the fifth overall pick (due to the Ivica Zubac trade involving the Indiana Pacers).
The last time Washington won the lottery was back in 2010, the John Wall selection.
Plus, fans saw the Utah Jazz land the second overall pick and the Memphis Grizzlies land the third overall pick. It’s expected league-wide that there will be some combination of AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson within those first four picks of the upcoming draft.
