With the Atlanta Hawks missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020, they now need to turn their eyes to improving the roster. One way they will try and do that this summer is by making trades but the other will be through the 2024 NBA Draft. The Hawks own their first roun pick next year, but that is going to change in the next few years due to the Dejounte Murray trade from 2022. This might be the last time for a little while for the Hawks to add a young player to the roster. This is regarded as a weak draft by many that cover the NBA and those that cover the NBA Draft. There is not a consensus top pick in this draft which makes it unpredictable. The Draft Lottery has yet to take place as well, meaning we still don't know where teams are going to be drafting in the top 14. Right now, the Hawks are at No. 10 and have a 14% chance of getting into the top four and a 3% chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick. Who the Hawks take is going to be determined by where they land in the lottery. Also, the Hawks do not have a second-round pick in this draft. That could change on draft night, but they don't have one right now.
