Draft lottery results

Again, we hit the “sim lottery” function on tankathon.com five times before landing on the order that we’ll use in our mock draft 2.0. Right off the top, there are, interestingly, three new teams selecting at the top. The Washington Wizards won the lottery and the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks joined them in the top 3.

Here are the official results:

  1. Washington Wizards
  2. Chicago Bulls
  3. New York Knicks 
  4. Minnesota Timberwolves
  5. Golden State Warriors
  6. Cleveland Cavaliers
  7. Atlanta Hawks
  8. Detroit Pistons
  9. Charlotte Hornets 
  10. Phoenix Suns
  11. San Antonio Spurs
  12. Sacramento Kings
  13. New Orleans Pelicans 
  14. Portland Trail Blazers 

With the Wizards winning the draft lottery, it gives them an opportunity to really be creative with what they do during the offseason. For one, this could open the door for them to move John Wall and/or Bradley Beal – though, moving the latter would be 100 percent easier.

Nevertheless, the Wizards enter our 2020 NBA Mock Draft 2.0 with the No. 1 overall pick. Who will they select? Let’s get to the pick.
