Who won the 2024 NBA Draft, Shams or Woj? Which media titan had more correct information?

In the world of NBA breaking news, two titans tower over everyone else: ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Shams Charania.

For years, the NBA draft has been a battleground where these media personalities go head-to-head, attempting to provide fans with the best information before their counterpart. The 2024 draft was no different. Every rumor, pick, proposed trade was sent out onto the internet by both Shams and Woj, and whoever had the correct information first wound up winning that moment.

Singular victories mean nothing in the face of either insider proving superiority over the other throughout the entirety of the draft. So, that begs the question, who won the night? Who had more correct information? Who was able to provide fans with the best up-to-the-minute updates?

Shams vs. Woj

Despite both insiders covering the same material, neither person really stepped on the other's toes. Shams played the typical spoiler role, tweeting out pick selections 2-3 minutes before they were announced on ESPN.

On the other hand, Woj focused on answering fans' questions, such as which teams were looking to trade up or whether or not the Pistons were going to keep the No. 5 overall pick.

When the two did cross paths directly, they were on each other's tails. Woj did get the advantage over Shams in some situations. For example, Woj tweeted out the details of the trade between Minnesota and San Antonio for the rights to No. 8 overall pick Rob Dillingham just moments before Shams tweeted out those details. Both men were able to get the information out at 9:02 p.m. ET, though.

Fans could argue that Woj has won the night strictly because his tweets are getting more interactions. Take that Rob Dillingham tweet, for example. At the time of writing, Woj's tweet has 4.2 million views and 8.3 thousand likes, while Shams' tweet has just 1.4 million views and six thousand likes.

Woj has also done a tremendous job of not just repeating what fans will see on TV moments later. Throughout the draft, Woj has kept fans informed about players while keeping a bit of the suspense intact.

He is not detailing the picks exactly but is hinting at who the teams will take.

Of course, you could argue that the open-ended nature of Woj's tweets here is evidence that he is less certain of his information than Shams was all night.

That said, many fans prefer to have the picks revealed when Adam Silver makes the announcement, which might make Woj's feed more enjoyable.

Who do fans think won?

Fans seem to share the same sentiment as listed above. While Shams may be getting more picks right, his insistence on revealing the picks before they were announced has upset many fans.

Still, fans who were not upset noticed Woj's unwillingness to announce picks officially and took it as evidence of Shams winning the night.

Outside of draft news itself, Woj may have won the draft with this Kenny Atkinson bomb in the middle of the draft.

Charania posted no such information on Atkinson, giving Woj a noticeable edge.
