The Atlanta Hawks held two first round pick and three second round draft picks before entering the NBA draft lottery. On the night of the draft lottery, both their own first round pick and the pick acquired from the Dallas Mavericks the prior season fell down to become the Hawks' 8th and 10th selections of the draft, respectively. On June 6, the Hawks agreed to also acquire the 17th pick of the draft from the Brooklyn Nets alongside a future first round pick and Allen Crabbe in exchange for Taurean Prince and a 2020 second round pick. Before the night of the 2019 NBA draft, the Hawks traded the 44th pick of the draft to the Miami Heat for a conditional 2024 second round pick and cash considerations.
