2024 NBA Draft Lottery First Round Selections
The draft lottery lists top picks with Atlanta Hawks second to Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets via Brooklyn. Notable prospects include 7-foot-1 center Alex Sarr from Toulouse and dynamic guard Zacharie Risacher from JL Bourg. UConn’s Stephen Castle and Kentucky’s Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham are expected to go early, with Castle among one-and-done Huskies guards. Risacher is a versatile shooter who defends top perimeter players. Sarr spent last season in Australia and is noted for rim explosiveness but needs more 3-point consistency. Sheppard and Dillingham were SEC standouts, with solid scoring and playmaking credentials.
