Washington Wizards will have the number one pick in the 2026 NBA Draft

The Washington Wizards have won the NBA Draft lottery to secure the first selection in next month's event at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. With the worst record in the NBA, the Wizards were among three teams with 14-percent odds of getting the top pick heading into the lottery. Meanwhile, several teams jumped up in the lottery, including the Utah Jazz, who got the No. 2 pick, as well as the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls, who will pick third and fourth, respectively.Next month's draft has a number of elite recruits, including BYU swingman AJ Dybantsa, Kansas combo guard Darryn Peterson and Duke power forward Cameron Boozer, the son of retired NBA forward, Carlos. 'Standing here is kind of crazy,' Dybantsa told reporters in New York on Sunday, as quoted by The Associated Press. 'One of these teams is going to be home.' In addition to the top pick in next month's NBA Draft, the Wizards also enter the 2026-27 season with former All-Stars Trae Young and Anthony Davis, both of whom were acquired in trades during the 2025-26 campaign. Interestingly, this marked the second consecutive year that a team that acquired Davis in a mid-season trade went on to get the first pick in the following draft. Last season, the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic for Davis and ultimately picked Rookie of the Year favorite Cooper Flagg first overall. No team suffered more on Sunday than the Indiana Pacers, who also had a 14-percent chance at the top pick, but will now surrender the fifth-overall selection in next month's draft by virtue of a conditional February trade for center Ivica Zubac. That deal specified that the Pacers' first-round pick would convey to the Clippers if it fell between picks No. 5 and No. 9. The Brooklyn Nets also got some bad news on Sunday, landing the No. 6 selection despite also having a 14-percent chance at the top spot. The Sacramento Kings will pick at No. 7, while the Atlanta Hawks, Mavs, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets found out selections No. 8 through No. 14, respectively. The NBA plans to implement anti-tanking rules in 2027 after a number of teams, including the Wizards, were accused of limiting their rosters in an effort to capture this year's No. 1 overall pick. Washington has not reached the playoffs since Scott Brooks coached the team in 2021. Brooks was fired after that season and replaced with the son and namesake of franchise legend Wes Unseld, who was then replaced with Brian Keefe in 2024. Keefe is expected to retain his job on the Wizards sideline heading into next season despite a record of 43-160 in Washington. The Wizards were represented on Sunday by John Wall, the retired point guard they picked the last time the team won the lottery. Washington also had the top pick in 2001, when they made the ill-fated decision to pick Kwame Brown, as well as 1961 and 1962, when they added Walt Bellamy and Bill McGill, respectively. #basketball #washingtonwizards #wizards #nbadraft

Les gagnants et les perdants de la Lottery NBA ! #nba #basketball #washingtonwizards #chicagobulls

La Lottery NBA était hier soir, c’est donc l’heure du bilan ! Premier gagnant : les Washington Wizards. La franchise a littéralement gagné la Lottery. Après une saison à développer des jeunes puis avoir réalisé les transferts pour Trae Young et Anthony Davis, ce sera une équipe à suivre ! Dans le même cas de figure, on peut inclure le Jazz, qui choisira en 2. Enfin Utah pourra sélectionner un talent de haut niveau ! Aussi une équipe à suivre l’an prochain. Les Memphis Grizzlies et les Chicago Bulls déjouent les pronostics et montent dans le top 4. De belles bases pour une reconstruction ! Deux grands perdants sortent du lot : les Pacers et les Nets. Indiana avait 1 chance sur 2 de conserver son choix. Et malheureusement pour eux, ils sont en 5… Ce qui signifie que les Los Angeles Clippers ont le choix de Draft ! Les Nets étaient prévus sur le podium. La chance n’était pas avec Brooklyn, qui tombe en 6 et qui poursuivra son tanking la saison prochaine. Qui sont les gagnants et les perdants de la Lottery NBA ? Qui va faire un échange pour monter ou descendre ? Donnez votre avis en commentaire ! #nbadraft #washingtonwizards #chicagobulls #indianapacers #losangelesclippers
