The Washington Wizards have won the NBA Draft Lottery, securing the top pick in the 2026 draft. The team is expected to select top prospect AJ Dybantsa, a 19-year-old forward with scoring ability, size, and athletic upside.
The Wizards' poor last season, finishing 17-65, ultimately positioned them perfectly for lottery luck. They will look to rebuild their roster with Dybantsa, who is viewed by many scouts as the frontrunner to become the No 1 selection.
The NBA Draft is scheduled for June 23-24, and the Wizards are expected to make a major splash with their top pick. The team has already added Trae Young and Anthony Davis to their roster this season.
The lottery order has been finalized, with Utah jumping to No 2 overall, followed by Memphis at No 3 and Chicago at No 4. The full 60-pick projection is available, with all 14 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs participating in the lottery.
