Washington Wizards' president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld will attend tonight's Draft lottery in Secaucus, New Jersey.

His team has the third-highest chance of landing the number one overall pick, a 15.7 percent probability.

As he and his basketball people look to put all their skill and resources into rebuilding the Wizards into winners, Grunfeld looks forward to not coming back to Draft lottery night again.

"It's not a feeling I want to get used to," Grunfeld said.

The Wizards are prepared to choose from among the top talents who have made themselves eligible to enter the NBA next season.

Once their Draft position is locked in, the Wizards basketball operations people will begin to fine tune their preferences and run through various scenarios.  They will also begin to explore the possibility of dealing the pick.

"We're going to do our research and use every tool available to us to evaluate what we have, and what's out there for us," Grunfeld said.  

In a Draft that may not have a franchise player around which to build, the due diligence process becomes much more demanding.  

It becomes that much more challenging to find a player who can increase the team's win total, and a piece who will be important to the team's future.

"We feel we can get a solid player or have a solid asset," Grunfeld said.

Grunfeld is not necessarily evaluating players on position.  "We don't have a glaring need," he said. "Last year, we needed a point guard so we went after one in Gilbert in free agency."
