Accordingly, the Atlanta Hawks became the owner of First Pick this year and that caused a lot of surprise because previously, they were only assessed to have about a 3% chance of becoming the team that selected the first player. in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The two clubs considered to have the highest percentage (both 14%) are the Washington Wizards and the Detroit Pistons, who can only be satisfied with Pick 2 and Pick 5. For the Pistons, this is also reasonable when they once had the First Pick. in 2021 and selected Cade Cunningham in that year’s Draft.
Meanwhile, pick 3 and pick 4 belong to the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs, teams that are strongly rejuvenating their forces and rebuilding their squad.
As for the Atlanta Hawks, by receiving the First Pick, they joined the group of 5 other clubs that have received the first 4 selections in the NBA Draft in history, including Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers and Orlando Magic. In this group, Magic can be considered the most successful team when their 4 first picks are all famous players such as Shaquille O’Neal (pick 1 in 1992), Chris Webber (1993), Dwight Howard (2004 ) and Paolo Banchero (2022).
Meanwhile, the two clubs with the most First Pick rights in history (both 6 times) are the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards, and right behind them are the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings (both 5 times).
