Some NBA fans are thrilled in May, while others dread each bounce of a ping pong ball, as the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery results make some teams winners and others losers. The Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs are the top picks. Detroit Pistons miss out, but have high hopes despite previous losses.

Meanwhile, Toronto Raptors face disappointment by landing at No. 8 in the lottery, sending their pick to the Spurs due to a previous trade. Coach Ime Udoka represents the Rockets, who benefit from the Brooklyn Nets' pick, offering potential trade assets and promising talent to fortify the team.
