Atlanta Hawks Secure Pick No. 6 in 2020 NBA Draft Lottery

The 2020 NBA Draft Lottery took place earlier tonight and we now know the order that teams will be drafting in later this year.

Earlier in the day, I predicted that the Atlanta Hawks would in up with the first pick in the draft but I was wrong.

The Atlanta Hawks secured the sixth overall pick at NBA Draft Lottery 2020 presented by State Farm, which was conducted earlier tonight. The Hawks entered tonight’s Lottery in the fourth position. Atlanta also owns a second-round pick, at number 50 overall.

The Hawks’ roster includes five players age 22-and-younger (Trae Young, John Collins, Kevin Huerter, De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish), with all five having been drafted or obtained on draft night over the last three years.

Since moving to Atlanta in 1968, the Hawks have selected at the sixth position twice, in 2000 and 2004.

NBA Draft 2020 presented by State Farm is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 16.
