The Atlanta Hawks have an interesting draft history filled with a bunch of B-/C+ picks.
Atlanta’s traditional regular-season success means they have rarely had a top draft pick (with one notable exception that we’ll get to shortly). Every draft class varies year by year, but outside of the top four or five players, there are seldom can’t-miss prospects available in the late lottery/high teens. The Hawks have generally gotten something from those positions, which is more than many teams can say, but they’ve never found a game-changing talent there, either.
To borrow from a different sport, the Hawks have rarely struck out completely in the draft, but they’ve also rarely hit a home run.
