The Atlanta Hawks won the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery and landed the number one pick for the first time in franchise history. What are their options with that pick?
The Atlanta Hawks had a 3% chance of winning the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery and they struck gold as they landed the number one overall pick in this year’s draft. The franchise is in an interesting position as they are led by franchise point guard Trae Young who put up 25.7 points and 10.8 assists per game this season.
If they were to draft Sarr then their other center’s in Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu might be on the verge of getting traded to another team. The Capela experience hasn’t been great for the Hawks so changing their look at the center position could be what’s best for the Hawks moving forward. A front court duo of Sarr and Jalen Johnson would give Atlanta a promising young duo that brings a ton to the table. As of today this looks like the likely option on draft night.
The big question here is what star could they trade for that makes it worth getting rid of the number one overall pick for? There’s a lot of superstars that will ask for trades in the off-season so expect to hear some names circulating the rumor mill here soon which could play a big factor on whether the Hawks make the pick or trade out.Isaac is the founder of Global Scouting and an analyst for Draft Digest.
