- The NBA held its 2025 Draft Lottery on the evening of Monday, May 12, in Chicago to determine the order for the upcoming draft.

- Top odds for the first pick were shared equally by the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets, each with a 14% chance, while Cooper Flagg was widely expected as the first overall choice.
- The Hawks face decisions about possibly trading picks to improve short-term competitiveness but also hold potential to develop rookies for future growth based on draft outcomes.
