Craig welcomes Monumental Sports' Chase Hughes to react to the Wizards slipping from the 2nd to the 6th pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. With the Wizards now set to select 6th in June's draft, Craig and Chase break down which prospects could fall into their range — including Ace Bailey, Derik Queen, and Jeremiah Fears. They also dive into the types of players the Wizards front office tends to target and Chase offers his own idea on how to fix the NBA Draft Lottery system.

Hour 1

1:12 - Monumentally Bad D.C. Sports Night

10:38 - What Are We Even Doing Here, NBA?

21:35 - Calls: How Are You Feeling After Last Night's Draft Lottery Results?

Coming off the Wizards landing the 6th pick in the NBA Draft Lottery — despite having one of the league’s worst records — Craig begs the question: What exactly is the NBA Draft Lottery trying to accomplish? Is it about discouraging tanking, or is it just about manufacturing parity? Craig lays out why the current system is broken and offers bold alternatives — including scrapping the lottery entirely or limiting it to just the #1 overall pick.

Craig opens the show reacting to what he’s calling a "Monumentally Bad D.C. Sports Night." The Wizards dropped to the 6th overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery — the furthest they could possibly fall — despite having the second-worst record and top odds to land No. 1. Meanwhile, the Capitals fell behind 3-1 in their playoff series against the Hurricanes, and the Nationals dropped their sixth straight game. Craig breaks it all down and shares what this brutal night means for D.C. sports fans.
