Heading into the 2021 NBA Draft, the first order of business for fans of the Washington Wizards should be to temper the expectations. Since 1991, there have been three superstars (Steve Nash, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo) taken with the 15th overall pick. Three out of 30, or 10% — roughly the same proposition as Nash missing a free throw. You willing to put your money on that?
In reality, a large chunk of past selections at #15 washed out of the league soon after.
