Since the inception of the draft lottery in '85, the Wizards have missed the playoffs 15 times. In seven of those instances, their lottery position has matched that of their record. However, in seven times, the Wizards have been jumped in the lottery by teams with better records, losing a total of 11 draft positions over those seasons.*

So that means we're due for some good luck, right? Right? Right?!?
