After Sunday’s NBA Lottery concluded, basketball fans now have their first look at where the draft’s best talents may land.

The Washington Wizards were the event’s biggest winners, as they won the lottery sweepstakes at the No. 1 pick. The Utah Jazz obtained the No. 2 spot, while the Memphis Grizzlies will be drafting third overall.

Although the Wizards had a lottery-best 14% chance to win the lottery, it was far from a given among the three worst teams in the league. The Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets also had 14% chances to win, but walked away with the Nos. 5 and 6 picks. To make matters worse for Indiana, they actually lost their pick due to the No. 5 spot being outside of their pick protections; the pick was given to the Los Angeles Clippers as a term for the Ivica Zubac trade.

With Washington trading for both Trae Young and Anthony Davis this past deadline, there leaves an opening in their forward spot to close out a potential “Big Three” for the upcoming season. BYU’s AJ Dybantsa should fit perfectly in that spot, and the notion that his name will be the first called on June 23 has grown increasingly more popular.

After Dybantsa, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and Duke’s Cameron Boozer will most likely round out the top three. There is a slight dropoff from there, but Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wagler, and Darius Acuff are all quite intriguing prospects after stellar collegiate seasons.

Here’s a look at how the experts believe the first round will play out now that the order is set in stone, barring a trade.
