SB Nation basketball editor Ricky O’Donnell published his yesterday and had the Wizards selecting Duke freshman Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick. The Wizards are currently 6-41 with a 4.5 game “lead” over the Utah Jazz for the worst record in the NBA. If they finish with the worst record, the worst they could fall to in the draft is the fifth pick.
While it would certainly be nice to see them rewarded for a historically bad season, there is still a chance of them falling somewhere in the Top 5. With that in mind, here’s a look at who O’Donnell currently projects in the Top 10, just to show a few more candidates.
