Current projections give the Wizards a 91% chance of finishing the season with the league’s poorest record

As of February 27, 2025, the Washington Wizards hold the NBA’s worst record at 10-48, placing them 15th in the Eastern Conference.

Despite trailing the Charlotte Hornets (12-35) by only four games, current projections give the Wizards a 91% chance of finishing the season with the league’s poorest record.

This position makes the Wizards the frontrunners to secure the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, where Duke University’s standout freshman, Cooper Flagg, is the consensus top prospect. Flagg, an 18-year-old forward, has been lauded as a “generational talent” for his exceptional offensive and defensive skills.

His addition could provide the Wizards with the franchise cornerstone needed to reverse their fortunes.

With 24 games remaining, the Wizards’ schedule includes matchups against teams like the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and Utah Jazz. These games will be crucial in determining their final standings and draft lottery odds. However, given their current trajectory and favorable projections, Washington appears on track to obtain the top pick and the opportunity to draft Cooper Flagg as the new face of the franchise.
