NBA Lottery: Washington's lottery pick conveyed to Phoenix as part of Markieff Morris deal

The 2016 NBA Lottery is over, and as expected the Washington Wizards will not have a lottery pick in this year's draft.

Washington traded their first round pick with Top-9 protection back in February in order to acquire Markieff Morris from the Phoenix Suns. The only Washington could have kept the pick this season is if they had moved up into the Top 3 through the lottery process. Washington only had a 2.2 percent chance of moving into one of those top 3 spots.

The Wizards could still theoretically make a move to get back into the first round via a trade, but it's highly unlikely.
