One of the more wild draft lotteries in recent memory had the Charlotte Hornets drop to the 6th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets jumped up from the 10th and 9th slots respectively to pick in the top four. The Spurs landed in the top four again after entering the lottery in the number five spot. Those three teams getting their lottery combinations drawn meant the Hornets dropped three spots down to the 6th overall pick.
The 6th pick hasn’t really popped off in recent seasons, which means it’s due to have a come up.
