The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery will be held today at 12:00 PM PT. The Draft will air on ABC, and will likely include about 45 minutes of chatter before the lottery results are actually revealed.
The Sacramento Kings will be represented on the telecast by Keegan Murray, according to James Ham:

The Kings have just a 0.8% chance at the top pick, and a 3.8% chance at landing in the top 4. For a full breakdown of the odds, my go-to site is Tankathon. Once the broadcast begins revealing the draft order, we’ll know very quickly if the Kings have moved up. If the Kings are announced first, it means the Golden State Warriors moved up from 14. If the Warriors are announced first and any other team is announced next, it means the Kings have moved up.
Prior to the lottery, I always like to give the Tankathon simulator a single spin and see where the Kings land. In my official spin for this year, the Kings stayed at 13, the Spurs lept to the first overall pick, with Portland and Memphis also moving up, while Detroit and Washington both slid to 5th and 6th, respectively. Feel free to give it a spin and share your result in the comments below.
This will also serve as the open thread for the lottery telecast, and we’ll have a new article up with the results.
