The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery has been run and won, with the favourites for the #1 pick missing out once again.
For the second year in a row the Detroit Pistons finished the NBA season with the worst record - and best draft lottery odds - however, missed out on the coveted first pick in the draft.
The Atlanta Hawks, on the verge of a playoff appearance in 2024 - losing in the play-in tournament to the Chicago Bulls - now get the chance to select the best college or international basketball player with the first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft in June.
Because of their average regular-season seeding, the Hawks had just a 3% chance to walk away with the #1 selection.
