The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery is now in the rearview mirror for teams, and the Atlanta Hawks could be considered one of the biggest winners and losers of the lottery drawing. The Hawks were one of two teams in the lottery that made the playoffs, and they have an exciting young core of Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, and Onyeka Okongwu already on the roster. Now they get to add someone with the No. 8 pick in the draft and the top 10 of this draft is very talented. On the other hand, they were hoping for a potentially franchise-changing moment by moving up into the top four and they did not get it. The Hawks have talent, but they may not have a "No. 1 option" just yet. They could still get that guy at No. 8, but it will be more challenging. So who are the big winners and losers for the Hawks after the lottery results? Winner- GM Onsi Saleh Did the lottery results work out the way that the Hawks had hoped for?…
