| 2005 Draft Picks - Atlanta Hawks |
| RD | PK(OVR) | NAME | POS | SCHOOL/COUNTRY |
| 1 | 2(2) | Marvin Williams | SF | North Carolina |
The Hawks were tempted to draft Chris Paul because of their need at the point, but at the end of the day they took the best player available. Marvin Williams is an upgrade over Al Harrington and Josh Smith. It will be interesting to see what the Hawks do from here. Obviously they're going to have to clear up a logjam at the forward position. Maybe they'll be able to trade Harrington in an effort to acquire the team's real needs at point guard and center.

| 2 | 1(31) | Salim Stoudamire | SG | Arizona |
He may be the best shooter in the draft, but where does he fit? He's an undersized two guard who duplicates what Tony Delk does. The Hawks still have no point guard, and no real power forward or center. How do they pass on Roko Ukic, Chris Taft and Andray Blatche here?

| 2 | 29(59) | Cenk Akyol | G | Turkey |
A young, intriguing point guard from Turkey who just turned 18 this year. Obviously this is a long-term pick for the Hawks.
