Hawks To Select Alex Sarr With No. 1 Pick
Atlanta Wins 2024 NBA Draft Lottery
ESPN Projects Sarr As Top Pick
The Atlanta Hawks are projected to select Alex Sarr with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, according to the latest mock draft from ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo.
The Hawks won the draft lottery on Sunday, securing the top pick for the first time since 2007. Sarr, a 6-foot-11 center from France, is considered one of the best prospects in the draft.
Givony and Woo write that Sarr has "a unique combination of size, athleticism and skill." He is a "dominant rebounder and shot-blocker" who can also "shoot the ball and put it on the floor." Sarr is expected to be a major contributor for the Hawks from the moment he steps on the court.
