NBA Mock Draft 2016: Hawks acquire No. 12 pick from Jazz
By Josh Hill
We are less than 24 hours away from the NBA Draft, and already the order has changed a little. While we fully expect more movement during the draft, the Atlanta Hawks have moved into the Lottery with the mega three-team deal on Wednesday that sent Jeff Teague to Indiana and George Hill to the Jazz.
Utah paid the heaviest price, moving the No. 12 pick in the draft to Atlanta for the right to acquire Hill from Indiana. With the Jazz moving out of the first-round, Atlanta now has two picks to play with — and start the rebuild with. Dennis Schroder will be the point guard of the future but Atlanta now has two picks in the first round to take two talented young players to add to their core group.
