On the morning of Feb. 12, FiveThirtyEight projects the Atlanta Hawks to finish in a tie with the Sacramento Kings for the second-worst record in the NBA. Given the lottery process, that does not mean that the Hawks wouldn’t eventually slot into the No. 1 overall draft position but, at this point, there is plenty of uncertainty as to where the Hawks will eventually land.
Given that caveat, Sam Vecenie of The Athletic released an updated NBA Mock Draft (one that is definitely worth the full read) on Monday morning and it places Atlanta in the top spot.
