2024 NBA Draft Lottery results, takeaways: Hawks win top pick in stunner, Wizards land No. 2 selection

A drama-filled Sunday afternoon in Chicago at the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery saw the Atlanta Hawks win the right to pick No. 1 in a stunner. It marks the first time in franchise history the Hawks have won the lottery, as they converted just a 3% chance to win the No. 1 pick in the lottery and moved up nine spots after the drawings.

Washington earned the No. 2 pick and two teams from Texas – the Houston Rockets at No. 3 and the San Antonio Spurs at No. 4 – secured the next two spots. Detroit, meanwhile, which had an NBA-best 14% chance of winning the lottery after posting the worst regular season record in the NBA, fell to No. 5. The fall is the worst possible outcome for the Pistons in the lottery and the second consecutive year it had the best odds to win the lottery and fell to No. 5.
