The NBA draft lottery has ended, and the results of this lottery have shocked many fans and media. Because the teams with a probability of getting the champion lottery more than 5% have not received the champion sign. On the other hand, the Atlanta Hawks, who received only 3% of the top picks, got the top pick.

For some rebuilding teams, it's hard to get a high draft pick. However, as things stand, some teams have failed and failed to get the draft picks they were looking for. To this end, the American media listed the biggest winners and losers in the 2024 NBA Draft draw.

The biggest winners of the 2024 NBA Draft Draft: Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have a 36-46 record in the 2023-24 season, and they have a probability of about 3% missing the playoffs. However, in the end, they managed to get the top pick.

Since 1975. The Eagles received the No. 1 pick for the first time. Moreover, this top draft pick does not have much effect for them, because 2024 is a small year for the NBA draft, and there are not too many outstanding talented players to participate in this year's NBA draft.

Many fans and media suggested that the Hawks trade away this first-round pick in exchange for some better young players, build a team around Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, and build a team that can challenge for the championship.

Houston Rockets

In the 2023-24 season, the Houston Rockets have a 41-41 record. The Houston Rockets had a chance to make the playoffs this season and earn a ticket to the playoffs. It's a pity that Shen Jing's injury caused some blows to the rocket's offense and defense.

The Houston Rockets, the team that has worked hard this season and narrowly missed the playoffs, winning the third-pick pick in the first round also makes them the biggest winners of this year's lottery. Now the Rockets have a lot of young players and a lot of talent. Now, with another third-overall pick, they have to think about which young player should be traded away by them this offseason. Perhaps, this is the trouble of happiness.

The biggest losers in the 2024 NBA Draft draw: Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors

Detroit Pistons

This season has been ruined, and the Detroit Pistons have become a joke again. A history-making losing streak that prevented them from getting the top three picks. The Pistons' fifth-overall pick may be the league's warning to a team that is in a bad swing. Under my rule, the days of trying to win a high pick by swinging around are over.

It's not too bad to have the fifth pick, but it's a painful thing for the Pistons who want to rebuild their rise but haven't improved. No matter what, other teams will not dare to mess up at will in the future.

Toronto Raptors

For the Toronto Raptors, with a 25-57 record, they are so low in the rankings, but they can't even get a top-14 draft pick, which is indeed a bit cruel. However, because of past trades, they missed out on high draft picks. Now, their high-pick pick is the Spurs' 8th pick in the lottery.
