Dan Patrick Reacts To NBA Draft Lottery Results | 5/11/26

How The Celtics Built Their CORE
The Blueprint: From Assets to Banner 18 The Celtics' current starting five all have direct or indirect roots in the assets acquired from Brooklyn. The Foundational Duo (Brown & Tatum): Jaylen Brown: Drafted #3 overall in 2016 using a Brooklyn pick. He eventually became the 2024 NBA Finals MVP. Jayson Tatum: Acquired after Boston won the 2017 Draft Lottery via a Brooklyn pick swap. They traded down from #1 to #3 to select Tatum, who became an All-NBA First Team cornerstone. The Trade Tree Expansion (Holiday, Porziņģis, White): Jrue Holiday: Boston acquired Holiday in 2023 by trading Robert Williams III, who was drafted with the final 2018 Brooklyn pick. Kristaps Porziņģis: Acquired in a three-team deal involving Marcus Smart. While Smart was drafted in 2014, his selection was made possible because the Celtics could prioritize guard depth knowing their future wing positions were secured by upcoming Brooklyn assets. Derrick White: Traded for in 2022 using a package that included Romeo Langford (drafted with a pick from the Kyrie Irving trade, who himself was originally acquired using a Brooklyn asset). Why It Worked While the Nets pursued a short-term "win-now" window with aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, the Celtics used the unprotected picks to bypass a traditional "bottom-out" rebuild. By the time the Nets' veterans left just two years later, Brooklyn was at the bottom of the league, and their top-tier lottery picks were flowing directly to a resurgent Boston team.

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
The Orioles Are Starting To Look Like Last Year Again
The Orioles salvaged the series finale in Oakland on Sunday after dropping the first two games, finishing the week 3-4 overall. Now they return to OPACY for a 3-game set against the Yankees, just one week after being swept in a 4-game series in New York. The players continue to preach patience and confidence, but sitting five games under .500 in mid-May, heading into another matchup with a division rival that has already looked clearly superior, is far from what the decision-makers in the Warehouse envisioned this offseason. Can the Orioles get back on track? Paul and Zach discuss that and more on The Bat Around.
Pirates Let Another Winnable Game Slip Away
The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped the series finale against the San Francisco Giants in a frustrating game that felt very much within reach. Bubba Chandler gave the Pirates a chance, the offense created traffic, and the team had multiple opportunities to take control — but missed chances, defensive mistakes, and more bullpen concerns proved costly. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Brothers, Anthony and Doug break down where the game went wrong, the Pirates going just 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position, Ryan O’Hearn’s rough defensive moments, Don Kelly’s bullpen decisions, and the growing concern around Dennis Santana. They also discuss Gregory Soto’s role, Montgomery trust levels, and why this bullpen may need help sooner rather than later. The Pirates are still playing solid baseball overall, but losses like this are the ones that sting — especially when the issues are starting to look familiar.
