2019 NBA Draft open thread

The 2019 NBA Draft is (finally) here and it is a big night for the Atlanta Hawks. At the start of the day, Travis Schlenk and the front office have five picks to work with, creating all kinds of trade options and a ton of fascination with what the franchise will do.

From a Peachtree Hoops perspective, we’ll be on site at Hawks headquarters (over at the team’s practice facility in Brookhaven) tonight, bringing you all the latest from the front office and, potentially, Atlanta’s new draftees later in the evening.

Here are a few particulars in order to allow you to follow the action in whatever way you choose to do so:

• Date: Thursday, June 20
• Location: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York
• Start time: 7:00 pm ET (coverage), 7:30 pm ET (draft)
• TV: ESPN
• Streaming: WatchESPN
• Atlanta Hawks picks: 8/10/17 (first round), 35/41 (second round)

In addition, we encourage you to use this space as an “open thread” to discuss whatever transpires and we should all be cordial to one another in the comments below.

Stay tuned and let’s enjoy this one together.
