Updated odds for the 2024 NBA Draft No. 1 overall pick as Zaccharie Risacher has become the favorite a week from the first round.
The Atlanta Hawks have been a tough team to peg at the top of the draft board, but amidst several NBA insiders linked the Hawks to French wing Zaccharie Risacher, the 6’9” wing has become the odds on favorite to be the first pick.
That changed on Wednesday after the likes of ESPN and Bleacher Report posted updated mock drafts that kept Risacher at the top of the board.The Hawks have been a tough team to peg after winning the lottery despite the 10th best odds to win it, at the crossroads of the Trae Young and Dejounte Murray era, as the team has been thought of as a possible candidate to trade the pick given that the draft lacks a consensus top prospect.
The other prevailing thought is that UConn big man Donovan Clingan is in the mix at the top of the draft.Clingan appears to be Risacher's main rival at No. 1. His workout -- where he shot the ball extremely well, showed surprisingly good passing ability operating out of short rolls and was impressive both in film study and in interviews -- helped his draft standing and makes him as possible sleeper selection here, as we've discussed for several weeks.
