The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery, held on May 25th in Chicago, concluded with the Atlanta Hawks unexpectedly winning the first pick. This annual event sets the top 14 picks for tonight’s NBA Draft.
Originally, the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards had the highest odds, each with a 14% chance, to secure the number one pick. However, the lottery, which uses a ping-pong ball drawing, altered the expected outcomes, deciding the order for the top four picks.

It’s important to note that only the 14 teams that did not make the NBA Playoffs participated in this lottery. The results from the lottery are crucial, as they significantly influence the draft dynamics, which starts tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and continues with the second round at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York City.
Critics have recently labelled this year’s draft class as one of the weakest. Despite such perceptions, past drafts remind us of the potential for surprises. For instance, the 2013 draft, also viewed sceptically, introduced stars like MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert, known for his defensive prowess.
