 This is the Fox News Rundown. Now a look at sports. All the talk leading up to the 2024 NBA draft centered around the lack of star power. A generational talent like Victor Wembyn-Yama was not available in this draft for the Hawks. For Atlanta, there were multiple players discussed as the potential first pick. Atlanta went with Zachary Rissachet out of France, a 6'9 forward. It's the second year in a row that a Frenchman has been selected first overall, and the fourth time an international player has been the top pick of the draft.
