Washington’s 14% lottery odds delivered the No. 1 pick, and NBA Draft on SI now projects BYU wing AJ Dybantsa there after the order was reshuffled.
Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points and is framed as the best fit for a Wizards rebuild that still lacks a true perimeter No. 1 scoring option.
Utah and Memphis round out the projected top three with Darryn Peterson at No. 2 and Cameron Boozer at No. 3, while Chicago’s jump to No. 4 puts Caleb Wilson in play.
The lottery also lifted the Clippers to No. 5 via Indiana’s pick, with Brooklyn falling to No. 6 as the post-top-four domino effect begins.
