Two teams jumped the Jazz in the draft lottery order on Sunday, pushing the Jazz’s projected No. 8 selection down to No. 10 in this year’s NBA Draft.
The Jazz had a 25% chance of moving into the top four, and the most likely outcomes saw the team sticking at No. 8 or No. 9. Instead, the Jazz slipped to No. 10 — which had just a 6.7% chance of happening. In the end, ping-pong balls didn’t favor Utah. The Atlanta Hawks won the lottery, finishing No. 1 despite having just 3% odds of getting the pick. The Washington Wizards will draft second, while the Houston Rockets will pick third. San Antonio, the team that received the No. 1 pick last season, will draft No. 4 in 2024.
