This Sunday at 3 p.m., the NBA draft lottery.

0:05.4

Out of all of the draft lotteries, which began in 1985, the Wizards have moved up in 25 of them.

0:16.1

Yeah, they've participated in 25 of the 40.

0:21.1

They've moved up just three times in 25 NBA draft lotteries.

0:27.4

Sunday at 3, we'll find out if they can get the big move that could be franchise changing.
