Drafting third overall in the NBA Draft can be a real gamble.

The Atlanta Hawks own the No. 3 pick for next months' draft lottery. The consensus among mock drafters is Atlanta will choose from either Duke's Marvin Bagley III or Michigan State's Jaren Jackson.

Vegas oddmakers are leaning that way. Here are the odds for who will go third overall:

Marvin Bagley III 1/1

Jaren Jackson 5/4

Luca Doncic 6/1

Any Other Player 5/1
