If the NBA season ended today, the Wizards would have the second-highest odds in the NBA Draft lottery standings. They are currently three games behind Detroit for the best odds and a half-game ahead of San Antonio.
Below is a look at the latest major drafts and big boards, along with the names of each outlet in their top five. One thing that immediately stands out is how few college basketball players are in those top five.
- Zacharie Risacher, 6-8, SF, JL Bourg
- Alexandre Sarr, 7-1, PF/C, Perth Wildcats
- Nikola Topic, 6-5, PG, KK Crvena Zvezda
- Reed Sheppard, 6-3, PG/SG, Kentucky
- Cody Williams, 6-7, SF, Colorado
