Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College 1 8 Kingston Flemings PG United States Houston 1 23 Zuby Ejiofor PF United States St. John's 2 57 PF France Poitiers Basket 86 The Hawks entered the draft holding two first-round selections and one second-round selection, all acquired through previous trades. They swapped their original first-round selection with the San Antonio Spurs (who subsequently traded the pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers), while their original second-round selection was traded to the Golden State Warriors and ultimately conveyed to the Denver Nuggets. The latter became the less favorable of two selections after the Hawks finished with a better record than the Los Angeles Clippers in the previous season.

On the second day of the draft, the Hawks and the Clippers swapped their second-round selections.
