On the eve of the 2024 NBA draft, the big storyline continues to be what will happen with the Atlanta Hawks and which player they will select as their No. 1 pick.
Ahead of the two-day draft, which begins Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET (on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+), Hawks general manager Landry Fields said his initial enthusiasm about landing the top pick has not been diminished as he and his staff have examined options such as French stars Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher, along with Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard and UConn center Donovan Clingan.
Trade talks are heating up as different scenarios are being laid out from NBA decision-makers depending on how the draft evolves.
ESPN will be tracking every bit of news and intel until the Hawks go on the clock at the Barclays Center podium Wednesday, with this version of the mock draft undergoing any and all necessary alterations up until draft time, based on our latest intel and any first- or second-round moves up until that hour.
