The Atlanta Hawks received the No. 1 pick for the first time in franchise history after entering the lottery with a 3% chance to get it. Unlike last year when it was the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes and everyone tuned in to see who would be landing the 7-foot-4 French star, this year is significantly different with no consensus top pick. There was a bit of drama this year with the lottery when the Hawks and San Antonio Spurs snuck inside the top four, and the Detroit Pistons fell to No. 5 after having one of the best chances to land the top pick. The Pistons have now had the NBA’s worst record in back-to-back years and have ended up with the fifth pick in the lottery each time. With the lottery order set, here's a look at Yahoo Sports' projections for both rounds of the 2024 NBA Draft.
