Adam Silver Should Be Rooting for the Hawks to Win the NBA Draft Lottery
The Hawks have built an entertaining culture around first-year head coach Lloyd Pierce and rookie Trae Young. With Atlanta on the rise, Adam Silver and the NBA league office should be rooting for the city to land potential No. 1 pick and Duke superstar Zion Williamson.
If the NBA's lottery reforms are going to work, it will be a few years before anything actually changes. As of March 2019, the Knicks have lost 26 of their last 30 games, we just watched the Suns go on a 17-game losing streak in January and February, and the Bulls were down 36 points in the first half this past weekend. This makes sense.
