The Wizards haven’t picked No. 2 overall in a long time.
The Washington Wizards will select No. 2 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft after the lottery was held earlier today in Chicago.
This the fourth time that the Wizards had the No. 2 overall pick. Wes Unseld, the Wizards’ best player in franchise history, was the No. 2 overall pick in 1968 when he went to the then-Baltimore Bullets. The 1968 draft also happened to be the last time the Wizards had the No. 2 overall pick.
This is Washington’s highest pick since the Wizards last won the Lottery, in 2010, and took John Wall first. The last time the Wizards’ franchise got the second pick overall, the team was in Baltimore, and called the Bullets. That year, 1968, the Bullets took…Wes Unseld.
