After the addition of Wake Forest big man John Collins with the No. 19 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks still held ammunition in the form of two second round picks. With the first of those choices at No. 41, the Hawks selected former Oregon guard Tyler Dorsey.
The Hawks originally held the 31st pick of the second round but moved back 10 spots as part of the Dwight Howard trade with Charlotte. With that said, Atlanta was able to add a shot-making guard that could be an instant offense player at the next level.
