The Atlanta Hawks have the No. 23 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft and have been connected to Washington's Tony Wroten, Kansas' Tyshawn Taylor and Syracuse's Fab Melo in recent mock drafts. The 23rd pick is tough to find a contributing player right away, but that is what the Hawks need if they are to get over the hump and be a contender in the Eastern Conference.
With so many teams looking to make deals, look out for the Hawks to see if they jump in on the action and decide to make a move on draft day.
