WEB Hawks Defy the Odds to Win NBA Draft Lottery
Atlanta Lands No. 1 Pick in 2024 NBA Draft
The Atlanta Hawks have defied the odds to land the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Hawks won the lottery Tuesday night, giving them the right to select French prospect Victor Wembanyama, who is considered the best player in this year's draft class.
The Hawks had just a 14% chance of winning the lottery but managed to pull off the upset. The win is a major coup for the Hawks, who are looking to rebuild their roster after a disappointing season.
Wembanyama is a 7-foot-3 center who is known for his length, athleticism, and shooting ability. He is considered to be a generational talent and is expected to make an immediate impact in the NBA.
The Hawks are now in a great position to build around Wembanyama. They have a young roster with several promising players, including Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, and Onyeka Okongwu.
The Hawks are hoping that Wembanyama can lead them back to the playoffs and eventually to an NBA championship.
