Thoughts on The Athletic's Hawks picks in the latest mock draft?

May 3, 2026 5:24 AM

The Athletic's Sam Vecenie released a new 2026 NBA Mock Draft this week, and Atlanta lands two picks in it.

The first one, No. 3 from New Orleans, lands Duke's Cameron Boozer. The reigning national player of the year averaged 22.5/10/4 for the Blue Devils. He'll likely measure 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot wingspan, more Kevin Love than Jokić, but a Boozer-Jalen Johnson-Onyeka Okongwu frontcourt is a tough mix to deal with.

Atlanta's second pick from the mock comes at No. 22 via Cleveland, with Stanford's Ebuka Okorie heading to the Hawks. The point guard role has been an open question since Trae Young left town. Okorie averaged 23.2 a game as a freshman at 35.4 percent from beyond the arc, but his 52 percent rim finishing and reliance on free throws bring up some real concerns.

Where do Hawks fans land on this one — would you grab Boozer at 3, or roll the dice on a player with more upside? And do you trust Okorie to be the long-term point guard?
