What are the Wizard's Chances of Landing the #1 Draft Pick?

Since it's looking like the play-in is no longer an option for the Wizards, we should start to ask "do they have a chance in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes?"
According to Tankathon.com, the Wizards have a 6.7% chance of the landing the number one pick in the 2023 NBA draft. They are currently tied with Indiana for the 7th best odds. Here's how it breaks down:
Detroit, Houston, and San Antonio have the highest chances at 14%
Charlotte has a 12.5% chance
Orlando has a 10.5% chance
Portland has a 9% chance
Looking at the records of the the remaining teams, our best chance is to leapfrog Orlando to get a 10.5% chance. Should we be hopeful? I remember being hopeful in 2019 for the Zion sweepstakes. We had a 9% chance, which was 6th best and ahead of the Pelican's 6% chance. We all know what happened.
