NBA DRAFT HISTORY NO. 1 PICKS
Betting on the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft doesn't always produce the greatest returns since the top prospect from the college and international ranks has been determined prior to the NBA Draft Lottery.
In 2019, Zion Williamson from Duke was considered a no-brainer to go No. 1 before the New Orleans Pelicans won the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery. Williamson closed as a -2500 favorite and bettors wagering $100 on the standout would've won 40-cents.
In the 2023 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs locked up their future with French product Victor Wembanyama, who closed as a -50000 favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick.
France produced another top pick in 2024 as the Atlanta Hawks drafted Zaccharie Risacher, who was the odds-on favorite at -550 to be the No. 1 selection.
