Hawks have 3% Chance of Getting #1 Pick 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Mon Apr 22, 2024 5:17 am

Few years ago Pelicans had the 9th best odds to get the #1 pick and they did and got Zion. Hawks this year have the10th best odds.

2024 draft reminds me of the 2013 draft, where there was no clear #1 pick. Because of that, the guy you like might actually be available at #10.

If the Hawks get the #1 pick, who would you draft?

We desperately need help.

It's no secret but the #1 pick would be amazing to have.

And a 51% chance of moving to #9. Definitely something to keep an eye out for.
Even a top-4 pick in this "weaker" draft would be welcome.

NBA Draft Lottery is May 12, IIRC...

At #1, Risacher seems the best fit based on position and skill set.
Spoiler:
Risacher, 19, is in the midst of a productive season in France, as his JL Bourg team is currently in third place in Pro A and reached the EuroCup Finals. He is averaging 10.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 23 minutes per game, shooting 39% for 3.

Risacher has taken his game to another level this season playing against some of the highest level competition in international basketball. At 6-foot-10, he shows deep range and dynamic shot-making prowess running off screens and pulling up off the dribble from beyond the arc. He is often tasked with defending the other team's best player, alternating between point guards and power forwards in his team's switching schemes. He plays a mistake-free, intelligent style with outstanding instincts on both ends of the floor, making him an easy player to fit into virtually any NBA team's roster with his versatility, but still has significant potential to grow into with his developing frame and youthful demeanor

Since August, Risacher has played in over 60 games across several different competitions, more than any player in this draft class, with possibly two more months still in store as the French playoffs kick off in mid-May.

ESPN
But, I'd probably take safer route and pick Alex Sarr.

Who would you guys take #1?

Three percent? I mean, we here talkin about three percent?!?

I'm more interested in focusing on the 10/11 spots, but then again, I do hate sports betting. :lol:

Your numbers are for BKN, not ATL :wink:

ATL has zero chance to move to 9, it's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th only

Behold, I'm speaking it into existence. :D
