And away we go, episode one thousand three hundred nineteen of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, May 6th, 2020. And as we with our

Washington Wizards await the 2006 NBA draft lottery, which will take place at the McCormick Place

Convention Center in Chicago this Sunday afternoon, May 10th of 3. We on Tuesday night had the

2006 NHL draft lottery,

which took place at NHL Network Studios in Sarkas, New Jersey. The Washington Capitals did not move

up. They wound up with the number 16 overall pick in the draft and also have the Anaheim

Ducks first round pick that due to the trade of defenseman John Carl, to the Ducks on March 6th, what was 2006 NHL trade deadline day. The Ducks first round pick will be determined by what happens with the Ducks in the Stanley Cup playoffs. So the Ducks are in the second round. They trill the Vegas Golden Knights, so one game to none in that best of seven series. And if you're like me,

and are a Capps fan, you are rooting hard for Vegas because the worse the Ducks do in the playoffs,

the better that first round pick from the Ducks will be for the Caps of the 2026. NHL draft will take

place at Key Bank Center in Buffalo on June 26th and June 27th. And yeah, this Sunday, a big day

for our Wizards. The damn Washington Wizards. Thank you. ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, the Wizards

off going an NBA worst 17 and 65 in the 2025, 2006 regular season. And season number three of their tank have the

following odds in the 2006 NBA draft lottery. Number one pick 14 percent. Number two pick 13.4 percent.

Number three pick 12.7 percent. Number four pick 12 percent. number five pick 47.9 percent. Yes, the singular pick

with the highest probability for our wizards is the number five pick. Hello and welcome to this

Wednesday installment of the Al Galdi podcast. One of the great feelings in life is getting an A plus, right?

Not just an A, but an A plus.

Getting an A plus means that you were great, that you were excellent.
