  • ATLANTA HAWKS to HOST 2019 DRAFT LOTTERY PARTY PRESENTED by GEORGIA LOTTERY Fans Can Register at Hawks.Com/Lottery for the Free Party
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 5/7/19 CONTACTS: Garin Narain or Janet Smith, Hawks Communications, (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS TO HOST 2019 DRAFT LOTTERY PARTY PRESENTED BY GEORGIA LOTTERY Fans can Register at Hawks.com/Lottery for the Free Party ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks will host a free draft lottery party for the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery at State Farm Arena on Tuesday, May 14. During the party, fans will enjoy great entertainment with appearances by Harry the Hawk, ATL Dancers and Flight Crew, music by DJ Mo Hawk with Big Tigger as the host for the evening, a Georgia Lottery photo booth, raffle prizes and more. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the amenities offered in the transformed State Farm Arena while watching the live lottery broadcast on the third-largest scoreboard in the NBA. Serving as the Hawks’ “good luck charm” on site at the lottery for the second consecutive year is owner Jami Gertz. Last year, Atlanta entered the lottery with the fourth highest odds of receiving the top pick and moved up one spot, securing the third overall pick in the draft. During the 2018 NBA Draft, the Hawks traded their third overall pick in exchange for the fifth pick, the draft rights for Trae Young, in addition to a 2019 top-5 protected first-round pick from Dallas. The Hawks’ own 2019 first-round odds have the fifth-highest odds of moving to No. 1 among the lottery teams. If Dallas’ 2019 first-round pick is not among the top five, Atlanta will receive the Mavericks’ first-round pick.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Julie Mason (412-496-3196) GATORADE® NATIONAL BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: BRANDON KNIGHT Former Miami Heat Center and Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year Alonzo Mourning Surprises Standout with Elite Honor FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (March 23, 2010) – In its 25th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPN RISE, today announced Brandon Knight of Pine Crest School (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) as its 2009-10 Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Knight was surprised with the news during his second period class at Pine Crest School by former Miami Heat Center Alonzo Mourning, who earned Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in 1987-88. “When I received this award in 1988, it was a really significant moment for me, so it felt great to surprise Brandon with the news and invite him into one of the most prestigious legacy programs in high school sports,” said Mourning, a Gold Medalist, seven-time NBA All-Star, and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. “Gatorade has been on the sidelines fueling athletic performance for years, so to be recognized by a brand that understands the game and truly helps athletes perform is a huge honor for these kids.” Knight becomes the first-ever student athlete from the state of Florida to repeat as Gatorade National Player of the Year in any sport. He joins 2009 NBA MVP LeBron James (2002-03 & 2001-02, St. Vincent-St. Mary, Akron, Ohio) and 2007 NBA Draft Number One Overall Pick Greg Oden (2005-06 & 2004-05, Lawrence North, Indianapolis, Ind.) as the only student-athletes to win Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in consecutive seasons.
