While the Bulls stayed mathematically pat, there were several organizations that hit lottery gold. Or in the case of the ’24 class, lottery copper that could actually leave a stain of green around the neck.
Atlanta was the big winner, nabbing No. 1 despite just a 3% chance, while Houston also jumped up six spots and grabbed No. 3 overall.
The loser? Of course it was the lowly Pistons, finishing the regular season with the worst record at 14-68, but falling out of the top four to draft fifth.
