2024 NBA Draft Lottery Order Finalized
Spurs Land No. 1 Overall Pick
Draft Order Set After May 12 Lottery
The San Antonio Spurs have landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, after winning the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12. The lottery determined the first 14 picks in the draft, with the remaining picks being determined by the reverse order of the teams' records from the 2022-23 season.
The Hawks made the biggest jump in the lottery, climbing eight positions from their pre-lottery slot to secure the No. 2 pick. The Thunder, who had the best odds of winning the lottery, fell to the No. 3 pick. The Rockets, Magic, and Kings rounded out the top five.
The draft lottery is always a highly anticipated event, as it can have a major impact on the future of teams. The Spurs, who have been rebuilding in recent years, are now in a great position to add a franchise-changing player to their roster. The Hawks, who have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season, will also have a chance to add a young star to their team.
The 2024 NBA Draft is scheduled for June 20, 2024. The draft will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
