The Washington Wizards are back in the NBA’s draft lottery after finishing 35-47 for the second consecutive year.
That’s actually better than in any non-tiebreaker year, in which their odds at the top pick would’ve plateau’d at 6.0% flat.
That was the year the Charlotte Hornets, who finished 23-42, had the eighth-best odds at the top pick, but jumped five spots into the No.
7 spot in the draft lottery all the way up to the top overall pick, where they could pick arguably the most highly anticipated draft prospect since LeBron James.
That very same year, the Memphis Grizzlies held the odds the Wizards currently have – the No.
11 spot in the lottery, the Lakers ended up with the fourth overall pick where they drafted De’Andre Hunter .
Simply put, no, the Wizards don’t have amazing odds of landing a top-four pick.
8 spot in 2013 but had the best luck of any team in the league and jumped up five spots to the No.
In 2010, though they didn’t have the eighth-best odds , the Wizards banked in on their 10.3% chance at the top overall pick and won the rights to draft John Wall.
