Hawks miss out on lottery luck, to pick eighth
Peachtree Hoops • • sports
Key Points:
- The Atlanta Hawks had just over a 40% chance to secure a top pick from the Pelicans-Bucks lottery but did not succeed in obtaining a top selection.
- The No. 8 pick, which has about a 30% probability of being the landing spot, was where the ball ultimately landed, ending the Hawks' hopes of drafting top prospects like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, or Cam Boozer.
- Despite missing out on the top prospects, the Hawks still have the opportunity to select impactful players with their current draft position.
- The NBA Draft is scheduled for June 23 and June 24, during which the Hawks will have three selections.
