Draft week is finally here.

And similarly, with the trend all year during the season, we still don’t know what the Hawks are gonna do at number one, Zachary Rica or Donovan Clinton, the rest of the top five is taking shape.

So let’s take a look at the top players in Yahoo sports’ latest mock draft at number one to the Hawks is French Wing Zachary Ricer.

The 68, 19 year old worked out for Atlanta last week and has the most pro upside and versatility inside the top five.

He guards multiple positions on defense and really showed more offensive output rather than just being a catch and shoot threat.

The 7 ft one center, Alex star has only worked out for the Washington Wizards and refused to meet with the Atlanta Hawks making him as close to a lock at number two as it gets the French center can stretch the floor with his game off the block and is an elite rim protector at number three to Houston is Kentucky guard Reed Shepherd in a draft with so much uncertainty.

Teams know exactly what they’re getting from Shepard.

He shot the ball over 50% from three on over three attempts per game and has a high IQ that can be slotted in the backcourt alongside a man Thompson and Jalen Green right away.

UConn guard Stefan Castle comes in at number four.

The Spurs need some playmakers to help get Wimba Yama more touches and a player to help anchor the defense in the backcourt alongside Wim Castle was one of the best defending guards in college hoops this year and is showing more upside as a scorer and facility rotator heading into the draft.

And finally rounding out the top five is uconn center Donovan Clinton.

The Pistons might be looking to move Isaiah Stewart if they land the 7 ft two center at five and he’s someone that can really anchor the paint and also tandem.

Well alongside Jayn Duran, the NBA draft is June 26th and 27th and for all the latest draft buzz leading into the big night, keep it right here on Yahoo Sports.
