- Hawks had just 3% chance of winning first selection
- No clear-cut candidate for No 1 overall pick in 2024
The Atlanta Hawks won the NBA draft lottery on Sunday, landing the No 1 pick and a potential cornerstone player in a year where there’s no clear-cut choice.
The Hawks hit the jackpot despite just 3% odds of winning the No 1 spot after finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference at 36-46. They dropped their final six regular-season games and lost to the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the play-in tournament.
