NBA Mock Draft roundup: Tyrese Haliburton serves as popular early fit with Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks officially own the No. 6 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, and there are a ton of avenues for Travis Schlenk and the front office to pursue in the coming days. However, mock draft season is now here in earnest and, in the hours after the lottery results came to light, a number of outlets released new projections to feed the content wheel.

First out of the gate was Jonathan Givony of ESPN, with the worldwide leader projecting USC big man Onyeka Okongwu to Atlanta.

Okongwu has the potential to be a switchable, bouncy rim protector who finishes everything, with outstanding touch and plenty of offensive upside.
