ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club has partnered with Kumho Tire to
host the free 2019 Hawks Draft Party Driven by Kumho Tire at State Farm Arena on
Thursday, June 20. During the party, Harry the Hawk, ATL Hawks Dancers and
Flight Crew will make appearances and music will be provided by DJ Mo Hawk with
special host Ryan Cameron.
Attendees can plan to participate in several activations throughout the arena
concourse. Kumho Tire will distribute drawstring bags to the first 5,000 fans in
attendance and have an animated-GIF booth for fans to capture a draft night
memento. Fans will have an opportunity to participate in drills as part of the
Emory Sports Combine while Sharecare, the team’s official patch partner, will be
raffling off an autographed jersey to a lucky fan.
In the arena bowl, SportsRadio 92-9 The Game’s Andy Bunker and Mike Conti will
broadcast a live show to discuss the results of the 2019 NBA Draft as they
happen, and at various locations on the arena concourse, 92-9 The Game and
V-103’s The People’s Station will set up promo tables.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins will be on-site and
joined by his counterpart from Hawks TV broadcasts on Fox Sports Southeast Bob
Rathbun, who will provide in-depth commentary on the team’s selections. Fans can
explore the arena’s amenities, such as the S.W.A.G. Shop, a four-chair
barbershop, offered in the all-new State Farm Arena while watching the live NBA
Draft broadcast on one of the largest scoreboards in the NBA.
The Hawks currently possess five picks (8, 10, 35, 41 and 44) in this year’s
draft and are the only team with two selections in the Top 10. In last year’s
draft, Atlanta acquired Trae Young (fifth overall pick) and Dallas’ 2019
first-round pick (this year’s 10th overall pick), along with Kevin Huerter (19th
overall) and Omari Spellman (30th overall).

purchasing tickets for the entire season and provide access to exclusive premium
