The Washington Wizards bad luck over the years has become a bit of a running joke around the league.
Washington has struggled to build a contending roster over the years, and that comes even with a handful of elite players representing the city on their chest throughout the last decade,
However, arguably the biggest failure when it comes to the Wizards is the team's inability to land premiere talent in the NBA Draft.
Over the years, Washington has taken several swings within the NBA Draft lottery that they have either swung and missed on, or lost patience and were forced to watch their picks emerge into rising stars elsewhere (shoutout Deni Avdija).
