The NBA Draft lottery is completed, and the Washington Wizards have finally gotten what they were waiting for: a first overall pick. After the three worst seasons in the franchise’s history, the capital will pick first in the 2026 draft class. They had 14% odds of getting the top pick, tied with the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets.

- Washington Wizards
- Utah Jazz
- Memphis Grizzlies
- Chicago Bulls
- Los Angeles Clippers (transferred from the Indiana Pacers)
- Brooklyn Nets
- Sacramento Kings
- Atlanta Hawks
