The Atlanta Hawks Get the No. 1 Pick at the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery
A Dramatic Sunday Afternoon in Chicago
The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery was filled with drama from start to finish, with the Atlanta Hawks ultimately emerging as the winners. The lottery took place on Sunday afternoon in Chicago and determined the top four picks in the upcoming NBA Draft, which will be held on June 26th and 27th.
The Hawks' Victory
The Hawks had a 14.0% chance of winning the lottery, but they managed to beat the odds and land the No. 1 overall pick. This is the first time the Hawks have had the No. 1 pick since 2007, when they selected Al Horford. The Hawks have been rebuilding for several years now, and this pick could be the final piece they need to become a contender.
The Rest of the Lottery
The Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs will pick second, third, and fourth, respectively. The Wizards had the best odds of winning the lottery at 14.5%, but they will have to settle for the second pick. The Rockets had a 12.5% chance of winning the lottery, while the Spurs had a 10.5% chance.
New Time and Date
The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery was held on a Sunday afternoon for the first time ever. In previous years, the lottery was held on a Tuesday night. The NBA decided to change the time and date of the lottery in order to increase viewership.
