NBA Draft Lottery: Hawks get No. 1 pick, despite 3 percent chance of winning

The Atlanta Hawks will have the No. 1 selection in the 2024 NBA Draft after winning the Draft Lottery on Sunday.

It's the first top overall pick for the Hawks since drafting David Thompson in 1975. Atlanta had never won the draft lottery before. The team was represented on stage in Chicago by general manager Landry Fields.

The Detroit Pistons (14–68) and Washington Wizards (15–67) had the best odds of getting the No. 1 pick at 14%. The Hawks had a 3% chance (and +3000 odds) of winning the selection with their 36–46 record.
