. Their season started with high hopes, but it was a frustrating and disappointing season for Atlanta and ened with them losing in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Going into this offseason, a lot of the talk surrounding the Hawks is centered on them possibly trading either Trae Young or Dejounte Murray, sending the franchise in a different direction. The trade for Murray has not worked out by any real measure and it is probably best for Atlanta to make a decision there.
Before that though is the NBA Draft and the Hawks are going to find out where they are picking this Sunday in the NBA Draft Lottery. Atlanta's pre-draft position is 10th and they could pick as low as 12th. The Hawks have a 13.9% chance to leap into the top four and a 3% chance to get the No. 1 overall pick. If you don't hear Atlanta's name called by the No. 10 pick, that means they have moved up and will be picking somewhere in the top four.
The last two times the Hawks were in the lottery were in 2020 and 2019 and in 2020, they came in with the 4th best odds in the lottery and it was a draft that would include Timberwolves superstar. Instead of staying in the top four or moving up to the No. 1 pick to get Edwards, Atlanta dropped two spots to No. 6 and selected Onyeka Okongwu, who has turned into a good player for them.
In 2019, Atlanta came in with the 5th best odds to win the lottery and in this draft was Duke superstar Zion Williamson, who would have paired wonderfully with Young for the future. Instead, the Hawks dropped three spots to No. 8, where they would later trade up for the No. 4 pick and select De'Andre Hunter, who has had bright spots for the Hawks, but has had trouble with injuries and consistency during his time in Atlanta.
