Last year at No. 16, the Hawks selected Duke forward A.J. Griffin, who averaged nearly 10 points per game during his rookie campaign. What are the Hawks thinking this year?

“We’re comfortable. With the draft, in the spectrum of possibilities, I think that’s most likely what happens, picking at 15,” general manager Landry Fields said. “But we’re still looking at options to move up or some options where if we want to move back. We do feel like, I guess the word is strong, but I think there’s a lot of depth there.”

For those who can’t make it to New York, the Hawks will host a watch party at State Farm Arena starting at 8 p.m. Fans who attend will be able to watch the draft on the jumbotron. The party will feature DJ Chika Takai, Harry the Hawk, and the Flight Crew.

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis with all proceeds going to the Atlanta Hawks Foundation.
