Despite having only a 7% probability by virtue of their 7-9 regular season record, Washington, DC-based Wizards District Gaming snagged the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA 2K League Draft.

Knicks Gaming and Hawks Talon GC, two other lottery teams who respectively held 4-12 and 5-11 records, got the second and third picks.

The unlucky Pistons GT and Lakers Gaming had 15% chances at bagging the top pick after having last season’s two worst records with 2-14 and 3-13, respectively. But in the end they settle for the fourth and seventh picks.



The fifth and sixth picks will go to the league’s two newest teams for the upcoming season — the Shanghai franchise under Gen.G Esports and the Charlotte Hornets affiliate Hornets Venom GT. Those teams will participate in an expansion draft, with the Hornets winning the first pick.

While the expansion draft is set for October 18, the date of the 2020 NBA 2K League Draft has yet to be announced.
