A look at the latest consensus NBA Draft Lottery and who the Wizards might target

If the NBA season ended today, the Wizards would have the 7th best odds of winning the draft lottery. However, they could still fall as low as 11th if they were incredibly unlucky, which you can never rule out in Washington. Based on that, it’s worth being aware of the players who are likely in the mix wherever they pick in the lottery.

Rookie Scale posts a consensus big board based on what is currently being represented on the boards of major reputable draft publications like ESPN, The Athletic, NBA Big Board, and others. Their latest version was posted on March 28th. I’ve included their full top-20 below for the sake of thoroughness.
