The Atlanta Hawks still have 35 games remaining in the 2017-2018 NBA season and, while the playoffs are no longer in even fringe consideration, there is plenty to be gleaned from what transpires. In looking ahead, though, the 2018 NBA Draft beckons and the Hawks are expected to have four picks within the top 35 when June 21 rolls around.
To that end, Jonathan Givony of ESPN released a two-round mock draft on Thursday and Atlanta’s four-player haul is quite interesting. Headlining the proceedings is the presence of Arizona big man DeAndre Ayton, who lands with the Hawks at No.
