The Bulls, looking to defy the odds and hit No. 1, were holding out hope that the draft-lottery gods would smile on them. It didn't happen, with executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas getting exactly what he deserved.

Dallas, somehow, won the No. 1 pick. What went on in the lottery room? And what were people talking about before and after?

While the Thunder did not receive the 76ers pick during the draft lottery, they still own the 15th, 24th and either the 44th or 45th pick in the upcoming 2025 draft. Because of this, Oklahoma City will have another opportunity to add more young talent to their team next season to make another deep playoff run.
