The offseason came early for the Atlanta Hawks this year, as they lost in the play-in tournament vs the Chicago Bulls. This is the first missed postseason for A
tlanta since 2020 and as a result, they will be waiting to see how the NBA Draft Lottery falls their way.
Finally, this draft is viewed as being a very weak draft and there is no consensus top pick. That makes predicting where guys could be very difficult.The Hawks are not a big team as presently constructed and need to add some forwards this offseason. They have De'Andre Hunter, Jalen Johnson, and AJ Griffin, and they view Mouhamed Gueye as a forward. Saddiq Bey and Vit Krejci are restricted free agents and my guess is that the Hawks will want to try and bring those guys back.
Ron Holland from G-League Ignite would also be an intriguing pick, but he might not be there when the Hawks pick. Holland is a 6'8 195 wing player that has huge defensive upside that should intrigue the Hawks. Clingan is not perfect though. Offensively, he does not offer much right now and was a poor free throw shooter at UConn. His impact right away would be on defense and hopefully for the Hawks, his offense would grow.
