The Washington Wizards won the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery Sunday, securing the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 2010. The Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls round out the top four selections.

The Indiana Pacers lost their top-four protected pick to the Los Angeles Clippers, who land at No. 5. The Clippers do not fully control their own draft picks until 2030, making the acquisition a significant coup for the franchise.

BYU freshman AJ Dybantsa is projected as the consensus No. 1 pick, according to ESPN. Washington traded for veteran stars Trae Young and Anthony Davis at the deadline and lost 26 of their final 27 games to maximize lottery positioning. The Wizards have not finished above .500 since the 2017-18 season.

Utah moves up to No. 2, its highest selection since 2011, and is projected to select Kansas guard Darryn Peterson. Memphis, despite having just a 9.4 percent chance at a top-three pick, lands at No. 3 and is projected to take Duke's Cameron Boozer. Chicago jumped into the top four with a 20.27 percent probability and is expected to select North Carolina's Caleb Wilson.

Sam Vecenie of The Athletic had an identical top-10 order in his post-lottery mock draft.

The draft combine begins Monday in Chicago and runs through the end of the week.
