Wizards Land No. 1 Pick in 2010 NBA Draft

Not bad for the Wizards and 76ers, who jumped from the No. 5 and No. 7 spots, respectively, to win the first two picks in this June’s NBA Draft.

The Wiz have a chance to take the franchise in another direction by selecting top point guard John Wall with the No. 1 overall pick. Zero seemed to have completely missed the point of a max contract. Maybe Wall can take Arenas as a warning, and play his way to max contract after a couple stellar seasons.

Here are the results of this evening’s NBA Draft Lottery:

1. Washington
2. Philadelphia
3. New Jersey
4. Minnesota
5. Sacramento
6. Golden State
7. Detroit
8. LA Clippers
9. Utah
10. Indiana
11. New Orleans
12. Memphis
13. Toronto
14. Houston

    I guess I’m happy for Wizards fans (or happy that the Wiz even have fans left) but it’s not like their GM’s haven’t made plenty of dumb mistakes. Giving Gil that contract was ridiculous BEFORE he started waving guns around in the locker room. The firesale of dumping Haywood & Butler definitely set them back. And who could forget Jordan’s infamous Kwame pick.

    The next GM that even CONSIDERS giving 100+ million bucks to a scoring wing player who is a suspect defender, frequently injured and a black hole on offense should be fired immediately before he can do any more damage. (SEE: Redd, Michael; Hughes, Larry.)

    Damn Nets fans don’t deserve this.

    @onlyclipsfanonslam – yes they do. Because they’re Nets fans.

    @ David Emmanuelle Castillo: Gilbert is a natural 2, not a 1. And honestly, he’s out the door anyway. The future of the franchise is WALL, not Zero. We need to think long term, not short-term quick fixes like we’ve been doing for the past 3 yrs.

    Niq speaks the truth.

    TO THE WIZARDS: GET JOHN WALL OR I WILL BOYCOTT THIS TEAM FOR THE NEXT 10 YRS. I SWEAR IT

    Ask the blazers how they feel about picking position over talent. John wall 1st.

    How the hell did the Utah Jazz get the 9th pick of the draft when they played in the second round of the playoffs?

    ^It was via a New York trade. “Utah receives New York’s 2010 first-round pick (unproteced) (Tom Gugliotta trade 021904) via Phoenix (Marbury trade) Phoenix receives a 2005 New York Knicks first-round pick. (010504 Marbury trade).”

    if Philly could trade away EB/SammyD i’m sure they’ll be getting a big man, if not it may be Turner. i hope they already realized that Iggy is not their “answer 2″. but i’m more hoping for the Nets to get Turner.
