The Washington Wizards historic bad luck has been hard to overlook, especially after the team has been forced to watch former players emerge as cornerstones elsewhere over the last few years.
Washington has not only put together several swing and misses in recent NBA Drafts, but the team's bizarre luck when it comes to draft positioning has become a bit of a frustrating development in past offseasons.
Looking back to the 2024 NBA Draft, where the Wizards bad luck seemed to strike again after the team was granted the No. 2 overall pick in one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, Washington seemed destined to be stuck in a constant cycle of mediocrity.
