The Hawks have the 24th overall pick in next month's NBA Draft, but they aren't sure they'll find a player ready to help immediately.

Atlanta assistant general manager Dave Pendergraft was initially "excited" about the players that would be available, but after taking a deeper look he's not so sure.

"Now, as things start to dwindle down, I'm really not so sure about that," he said.

Pendergraft ranks the top five prospects, in order, as Kentucky's John Wall, Ohio State's Evan Turner, Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins, Georgia Tech's Derrick Favor and Syracuse's Wesley Johnson.

After those five, he said the draft becomes "very, very hard to predict" but he thinks teams can find rotation players as low as No. 20 in the order.
