Finally, the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery results are in, Lady Luck on the Washington Wizards’ side as they won the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 2010. As luck would have it (pun intended), the Wizards’ last No. 1 pick was former face of the franchise John Wall<\/a>. The five-time All-Star took up his old mantle, in a manner of speaking, as the team’s draft lottery representative.<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, Washington will land the first overall pick. The Utah Jazz land the second overall pick for the first time since 1980, when they selected 1981 Rookie of the Year, Darrell Griffith<\/a>. Shockingly, the biggest jump comes for the Los Angeles Clippers, who’ll now own the Indiana Pacers’ pick since it fell out of the top-four<\/a>. The Clippers’ own first round pick, projected to be 12th overall, was conveyed to the ever-wealthy Oklahoma City Thunder. Just days after hiring former Atlanta Hawks senior vice president Bryson Graham as their new executive vice president<\/a>, the Chicago Bulls charged up five spots to land at No. 4.<\/p>\n
