The NBA draft lottery is a time of great anticipation for the entire league, but especially for 14 of the 30 teams.

The Washington Wizards received the No. 1 pick in the lottery on Sunday, May 10 during a full production in Chicago hosted by the league. They were one of three teams with a 14 percent chance of capturing the top pick after going 17-65 in the 2024-2025 NBA season. Former All-Star John Wall, who retired last season, was on hand to represent the franchise.

There were several future draft picks in attendance, including AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cam Boozer, who were with their mothers on Mother's Day.

The event took place ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals where the New York Knicks seek to sweep the Philadelphia 76ers.

Even though the Oklahoma City Thunder are on the brink of eliminating the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, they had a 1.5 percent chance of getting the No.1 pick. This is because they are still reaping the benefits of trading Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers. They will pick 12th in the draft.

The Dallas Mavericks, who had last year's No. 1 pick for the first time in franchise history, will have the No. 9 pick this summer.

The NBA draft will be held on June 23-24.
