Breaking down the opening odds for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, is favored at -125 to land in Washington with the No. 2 overall pick. The Wizards are in a full rebuild mode, so they may not draft positionally at No. 2, and adding a 3-and-D wing would certainly be helpful to build out the roster.
"Risacher seems like the most likely choice at this point for the Hawks; he’s a theoretical 3-and-D wing who can fit whether or not they keep Trae Young," O'Connor wrote. "I’m not as high on Risacher as others are, due to his lack of a proven jump shot and his lack of shot-creation skills. But there’s no doubt he can defend. I don’t think this pick is a lock, though: League sources say the Hawks have been unable to bring in top prospects to Atlanta for workouts so far.
The top of the draft is going to be a little shaky -- as these markets suggest -- since there is no clear No. 1 prospect in the draft. For Atlanta at No. 1, it'll be interesting to see if the team moves on from Trae Young or Dejounte Murray which could give away its draft strategy. Clingan doesn't have an outside game as a center either, but he's a very good passer for his size. He could be an intriguing option at No. 2 if the Wizards aren't high on either Sarr or Risacher -- or if the one they want is picked at No. 1.Castle projects as an immediate plus defender at the NBA level, although his biggest weakness is his 3-point shooting.
