Atlanta Hawks win #1 Pick in 2024 Draft Lottery

Yeah. I mean, how often does all the minutes played in SL rec ball translate to real NBA minutes.
I try to not take much from SL since the Tim Duncan days.

I like the top four very much and I'm not surprised.

If Sarr had been drafted #1 and put up these numbers in SL, would Landry even make it into the season with his job intact?

Just too small of a sample to gather anything. SL is built for guards/wings that can create. Bigs usually need more structure unless they're more advanced offensively than the typical rookie. Even then, it's hard to draw conclusions. It's not like Zacch killed SL either.

I don't think Hawks could have reasonably taken Castle at #1 with Trae and Dejounte both still on the roster...but man that kid looks promising.

He might single-handedly keep Spurs from ever trying to trade for Trae Young.

Every NBA draft class for the past 10 years has featured ALL NBA caliber talent at the top...except for the year the Hawks win the #1 pick.

Disappointing for sure.

On the other hand, I hope these teams don't get the #1 pick, or even top 3.

Washington

I'm pretty curious to see how history will judge us for going with ZR.

I don't think he'll end up regarded as a top-3 player in this draft class. But, I feel confident he won't be considered a bust either.
