The NBA playoffs continued, but earlier there was an NBA draft draw ceremony, and it was time for the stage of much attention, and the results of the draw have also been released, and the Hawks can be said to have become the biggest winners, they only drew the top pick with only a 3% probability, of course, there are teams with good luck and teams with bad luck, such as the Pistons, who are in the bottom of the score, and the results of the draw are not in the top four. Let's take a look at the details of the lottery results. A few families are happy and a few are worried, and the NBA lottery results are out: 3 winners and 1 loser are born, the Rockets have to explore the flower lottery, and the Pistons are fifth.

Winner 1: The biggest winner is undoubtedly the Eagles. Last season, the Hawks finished 10th in the East with a 36-46 record in the regular season, and it can be said that they almost won a playoff spot. According to NBA rules, there is only a 3% probability of drawing the top pick, but it is this 3% probability that makes them get the top pick and become the team with the lowest probability of winning the top pick under the existing rules. However, this further exacerbates the uncertainty of Trae Young's maintenance in the team, because he was previously revealed that the team has the idea of giving up on him, and now that the team has obtained the No. 1 pick, do you think Trae Young will be traded away in the offseason?

Winner two: Wizards. Last season, the Wizards only got a seemingly young and good player with a lot of chips, but the team's record was not ideal, with a 15-67 record ranking second from the bottom of the league. The team had a 14% chance of getting the top pick, but it didn't get it, and it ended up being the top pick. They were also rumored to make changes to their roster in the offseason, and now that they have a roster sign, it is unknown whether they will choose to keep them or choose to trade away in exchange for quality players to improve the immediate strength of the roster.

Winner three rockets. The Rockets can be said to have started high and gone low last season, and the team's performance in the second half of the playoffs was not ideal, although it was expected to hit the play-in position with a wave of consecutive wins, but it lost one after another at critical moments and finally missed the play-offs. They themselves drew the No. 12 lottery lottery that belonged to the Thunder, and the lottery they obtained, the Nets drew the number but belonged to the Rockets. It has to be said that the Rockets have once again become the big winners. Of course, at this stage, they already have a lot of young talented players on the team, and they may not choose to keep this draft pick, but may be traded away. It is worth mentioning that Udoka once represented the Rockets in the lottery draw ceremony. The Rockets ended up with the No. 4 pick and used that pick to select Amen Thompson

Needless to say, the Pistons, who had the lowest record in the league last season, only got the 5th pick in the lottery, and once again missed the top 4, which is the third consecutive year that they have won the No. 5 pick. I have to say that they are currently the losers this time. (2024: The Pistons and Wizards have a 14% chance of winning the top pick at the same time; 2023: The Pistons, Rockets, and Spurs have a 14% chance of winning the championship at the same time; 2022: The Pistons, the Rockets, and the Magic have a 14% chance of winning the top pick at the same time) For the Pistons, there are also many young talented players on the team at present, so if you want to develop them, you need to give them a lot of time, and this No. 5 pick is very likely that the team will not choose to stay on the team, after all, they will lead the current roster to impact better results.

Detailed results: No. 1-5 picks: Hawks get the No. 1 pick, Wizards get the No. 1 pick, Rockets get the No. 4 pick, and the Pistons get the No. 5 pick. The Nos. 6-14 picks are: Hornets get No. 6, Trail Blazers get No. 7, Spurs get No. 8, Grizzlies get No. 9, Jazz get No. 10, Bulls get No. 11, Thunder (from Rockets) get No. 12, Kings pick No. 13, Trail Blazers (from Warriors) No. 14. For the Warriors, they only finished with the 14th pick, and the first-round pick was sent to the Trail Blazers, who did not have a first-round pick this year.
