Transcripts
all right so the 2024 draft lottery is
finally here we're going to be figuring
out who's picking number one in this
year's draft obviously so many teams can
move up to number one and we're still in
a stage where anybody can kind of go
number one overall will be Alex star
will be Zachary Rach will be maybe a
surprise player that's going to go
number one we are going to react to the
mock draft here today if I had to give
some prediction before I record this I
don't it's always tough to do this it
would be cool if like Houston ended up
with a top pick via Brooklyn sorry Nets
fans and then what if like their other
first round pick their first TR pick
actually goes in the top four it's not
protected to OKC and then they have two
top four picks that would be insane for
what Houston is currently building there
you added so much good young Talent
there multiple future first round picks
out of nice draft Equity so yeah like
that obviously somebody's franchise
could completely change getting the
number one overall pick it obviously be
cool if a team in the teens as well like
the Kings the Bulls ended up moving up
into the top four so let's find out who
is picking where in the 2024 draft with
the lottery we're going to react to it
right now so let's take a look at the
lottery on for today all right we've got
the Pistons and wizards both with a 14%
chance to walk away with that coveted
number one pick leading the packet teams
with more I don't really know who I want
to see move up to number one right like
it would be really cool if one of those
teams that have a low percentage chance
like the Sacramento Kings like Imagine
The Warriors jumped up into the top four
and then they're able to maybe even move
that pick to try to win something with
sethh curry like that would be kind of
insane if they're able to pull that off
they would need some Insane luck
something we have never seen before but
there's a chance Houston could get two
top four picks today trying to bring
their respective teams a little bit of
luck and we start with golden state
who's represented by guard Brandon psky
who was the 19th pick in last year's NBA
draft Sacramento has sent forward Keegan
Murray the fourth pick in the 2022 NBA
draft I love that they're doing like a
roll call here representing Houston is
head coach e yok his Rockets could walk
away with two lottery picks today I mean
very low percentage chance that their
pick actually goes into the top four
only a percent and a half I mean Chicago
this would be amazing for them they did
get lucky in the 2020 draft lottery
shout out to former Nick Landry Fielder
the GM of the Atlanta Hawks they would
be a really cool team because they could
have a very eventful off season I have a
weird feeling about Utah winning the
lottery I I think they could be in that
Pelicans kind of standpoint we've seen
shoot up in the lottery before even like
Charlotte as well so we'll see I mean if
Memphis ends up winning it they could be
right up there in the west with like
Dallas OKC Denver and Minnesota next
year because you're adding in a top pick
to Triple J JN and Bane all fully
healthy that would be insane Toronto
cannot fall out of the top six cuz then
they will lose their first round pick to
San Antonio and that would also be funny
if San Antonio ends up getting two first
overall picks like two years in a row
that'd be kind of insane excited for we
got building intoo uh can't wait to
introduce our new players to our team
and just show what we're going to do
next season you know we it's going to be
very special for us so see who we get uh
see what pick we get this is maybe the
easiest thing you've had to do as a
member of the team representing San
Antonio is general manager Brian wri
Portland the sent guard scoot Henderson
the third pick of last year's draft who
led rookies with 5.4 assists per game
scoot your Blazers moved all the way to
third last year on this stage took you
so I know they're hoping that you're
going to pay it forward and bring them a
little luck do you have any like rituals
or superstitions that you do to bring
your team some luck um nah just
pray I think you and everybody else yeah
I think you and everybody else in this
room what's more nerve-wracking playing
or sitting there knowing there's not a
ton you can do in terms of the
odds highly sitting here cuz I can't
control
it fair point I I wish scoot resor in
the goggles here is for forward Brandon
Miller who was second pick of last
year's draft second in rookie P points
to only Victor wanyama with 17.3 points
per game as for Washington they've sent
Frenchman belal kabali who was the
seventh pick of last year's draft and
finally representing Detroit basketball
assar thompon damn they sent A lot of
people from last year's draft class here
assar is someone who was in their
position a year ago what would you tell
the prospects here tonight about
navigating their rookie campaign uh I
would definitely tell them to just work
hard have fun and not be complacent you
know and they can do whatever they want
we love that emphasis on don't be
complacent well done and here we go all
right let's you looking at the NBA Chief
security officer Leon Nome he is
escorting the only man in this Ballroom
who knows the results of the draft
lottery mark dielli from the accounting
fir young who's delivering the sealed
envelopes to the podium it's all very
serious in here there's a hush in the
crowd because the time has officially
come so we welcome in NBA Deputy
Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer
Mark Tatum who will reveal the lottery
picks of the 2024 NBA
draft thank you well and happy Mother's
day and good luck everyone
the 14th pick in the 2024 n draft
presented by State Farm will be made by
or no not Golden State the Portland
Trailblazers as expected Portland
receives this pick from Golden State who
could only have kept this pick if it had
land did scoot know that that was not
their pick though 13th pick belongs
to the Sacramento
Kings so they're able to keep their pick
now from the Kevin herder trade since
they did make the
playoffs the Oklahoma City Thunder this
also expected OKC receives this pick
from Houston due to the Russell
Westbrook Chris Paul trade Chicago
should be at 11 the 11th pick in the NBA
draft will go to okay the Chicago
Bulls this should be Atlanta number 10
will be made
by oh no Utah ja where's Utah okay this
means that Atlanta and Houston have both
moved into the top four smes oh my God
Houston moved up oh my God
go the Memphis Grizzlies at nine oh my
God okay this is crazy Atlanta this now
changes everything their offse can go
will be made by the San oh the
r oh they're getting two top 10 picks
you have to be happes the oh my God all
right this is kind of crazy so far with
Toronto the seventh pick in the NBA
draft belongs
oh is this going to be like a Portland
oh that sucks I mean you get seven and
14 this means that San Antonio has also
moved into the top four oh my God that's
insane pick number six goes to oh
Washington and Detroit I'm so sorry
Charlotte no okay okay so one of
Washington or Detroit is going to get
screwed here the fifth pick I
think I'm so sorry you guys never get
luck I mean 2021 you guys got luck so
we're going to see Houston via Brooklyn
San Antonio we have Atlanta and
Washington in the top four that is
insane I am so sorry Pistons fans that
is crazy and I think what's underrated
here is that San Antonio is getting two
top 10 picks Toronto drops to eight so
they're not going to be able to keep
their first round pick damn losing the
eth overall pick for yaka purle that
does not look too good miseri I mean
Houston and Atlanta two teams that were
picking late in the lottery potentially
or end up like in the top four the
Rockets pick though is from Brooklyn
this is huge like if the Rockets oh my
God they're going to land a top player
in this class they could also leverage
that in a trade as well as for Atlanta
like they could this could change
everything for them as well if they were
going to think about moving either
Murray or Trey young now they could move
neither of them maybe they land Alex SAR
and they just move on from like clink
capella or NECA a kungu I would love Ron
Holland on this team and what he could
proide uh provide defense
there are so many different outcomes
here as like a non-biased fan here
because I don't really root for any of
these teams I mean I think it would be
cool to see Washington get the number
one overall pick I think alexar would be
super fun there so I kind of want to see
that happen San Antonio I think at two
would be fun see nicoa topic orchestrate
that offense for vikor wenyama is
probably what I'm rooting for as well
and then I would say between Houston and
Atlanta three and four I think I'll go
Atlanta 3 Houston 4 um I think those
would be pretty cool I mean you can kind
of interchange those I would like to see
probably SAR in Washington I'd probably
like to see Topic in San Antonio imagine
San Antonio gets number one again that
would be kind of insane I mean just
thinking about this like Ron Holland
would be a super fun fit in Atlanta or
Houston same with Reese aay same with
Reed Shepard or Rob Dillingham really
wouldn't make a lot of sense in Atlanta
but it could definitely work out in
Houston as well so yeah let's see who's
going to be picking the top four in the
2024 NBA draft I just really feel bad
for Pistons fans man I I really do you
had the worst record in the NBA just to
get the fifth overall pick in this draft
I mean I think Stefan Castle will be
there at 5 and that could be your guy
all along or maybe ree a Falls but still
that's got to hurt all right here we go
let's see who's going to be picking one
through four draft will it be Washington
will it be San Antonio who already has a
top 10 pick will it be Houston or will
it be Atlanta joining us once again the
order of the top four picks NBA Deputy
Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer
Mark Tatum I feel like San Antonio's
going to drop to four no way they go to
one again it's going to be San Antonio
right goes to yeah I was going to say no
way I kind of want to see Washington
thir pick belongs to it's not I feel
Washington's going to be three though
that's brutal okay Houston Rocket
Atlanta may it number one that is crazy
the second pick will be made by oh my
God Atlanta gets number one that means
that the
number24 NBA draft goes to Atlanta Hawks
wow abute nobody thought that was coming
Hawks with the I don't even know who
fits there position to end with the
number one they move over kungu move
over Clin capella that is kind of insane
so I have no idea what Atlanta is going
to do with the number one overall pick
because they're going to be in Trey
young dejonte Murray trade rumors all
offseason they have a plethora of wings
DeAndre Hunter bodam banovich AJ Griffin
Jaylen Johnson we'll see if they bring
back sadique Bay this off season as well
and then they have two centers in NECA
kungu and kin capella I assume it's
going to be Alex star number one still
poor kungu man get drafted in 2020 and
is a backup to clink capella all these
years we think he's finally going to
start for them next year and then they
get the number one overall pick and it's
probably going to be Alex S I think he
will end up going number one in this
draft maybe UA trades this pick maybe
they trade out of it try to recruit some
draft Capital that they ended up losing
maybe San Antonio would give them a
first or two back if they wanted to go
from four to one that would be kind of
insane I'm excited how this is going to
look over the next couple of weeks I
hope you guys did enjoy my reaction to
the 2024 draft lottery let me know what
you guys think of it in the comments
below and I'll catch you all on the next
one peace
