Washington Wizards General Manager Will Dawkins gave a buttoned up response to the team's draft slide, but his live reaction to the stumble revealed his true shock in the moment.

Reporter Rachel Nichols summed it all up perfectly, saying, "Wizards fans cannot catch a break." Meanwhile, PFT Commenter joked that Wizards GM Will Dawkins should try "a phone call to see if Nico will trade us the number 1 overall pick for the 6th overall pick".

The Washington Wizards will have the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which is just about the worst-case scenario for their franchise.

Wizards officials put on a brave face in the aftermath, but Washington absorbed the most brutal gut punch the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery.

The San Antonio Spurs have the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Will they use it to select Dylan Harper or trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

It wasn't a good day to be a sports fan in the nation's capital with the Wizards, Nationals and Capitals all losing in hours.

The utter look of disbelief on Dawkins' face was evident even in the grainy video feed. A Mavs team with 1.8% odds somehow leapfrogged 10 other teams, the Wizards and Jazz included, to win what's been dubbed the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes.

The Washington Wizards dropping to sixth in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery wasn’t the outcome fans were hoping for. With the second-best odds, dreams of landing Cooper Flagg or even Dylan Harper were real.
