With the Celtics winning the championship, the NBA2023-24 season officially ended, and the 2024 draft came at random, but unfortunately, the 2024 draft was recognized as a small year for the draft in recent years, and the overall depth and intensity were slightly insufficient, and the height of top talent was not attractive enough. In most opinions, at least this year, there is no talent like Wembanyama last year, and even the level of the team that will be challenged in the future, which is difficult to verify right now, and the best outcome is to wait and see if they can break new heights in the future.
Despite the poor overall quality, the draft is still the most direct and painless source of strength for many teams. For teams that didn't have a good record last season, or who have already taken advantage of the big bets on draft picks, they can bring new blood to the table through the draft.
For this season's draft pick, this is the first in the history of the Hawks, and it comes from the lucky gods who have only a 3% chance of winning the lotto, although they did not make the playoffs in the 2023-24 season, they still grabbed a play-off spot, and they are only one step away from the playoffs, and finally only ranked 10th in the lottery odds, with only a 3% chance of winning the lucky prize. Although this year is considered a small year for the draft, this big pie falling from the sky has far exceeded the initial expectations of the Eagles.
