After a last-second Jordan Poole game-winner for Washington yesterday. The Utah Jazz are now neck and neck for that number-one overall pick. However, after doing some thinking, Utah might not want to be in first.
In 2024 the Detroit Pistons who only won 14 games the whole season were projected to have the first overall pick. However, on lottery night the balls didn’t go their way and ended with the 5th pick and selected Ron Holland lll. The team that won the lottery that year, the Atlanta Hawks had a (36-46) record and was in the play-in that season.
