Credible NBA pundits and scouts are raving about the 2026 NBA Draft and the 15+ freshmen who will take the league by storm next fall. It’s divine timing for the Atlanta Hawks, as they’re destined for a top 10 pick after ‘fleecing’ Joe Dumars and the New Orleans Pelicans last summer.
The trade single-handedly changed the trajectory of the Hawks franchise, as their pick will complete the Jalen Johnson era with another star companion in June. Onsi Saleh and the front office have made their intentions clear that they intend to draft the pick, even though their roster will become younger in the process.
