The Washington Wizards have played well over the last week or so and have shown a lot of promise towards the future. Of course, there are a lot of calls for this team to scale things back to give them a greater chance to get a higher lottery pick.
With the recent wins though, this option looks less feasible. The Wizards currently have eight teams ahead of them in the draft lottery odds. Each win would put their odds of getting a high pick, further and further away. With this year’s draft deemed by many pundits to be a very top-heavy draft with a drop off outside the top 5, the Wizards may have put themselves in a position to be at the point of no return.
