MORE INFORMATION:
ATLANTA – The 2023 NBA 2K League Draft is set for Thursday, Jan. 26, and Hawks Talon GC will be selecting first overall for the first time in franchise history. Hawks Talon GC will have three selections in the draft: the first overall pick, the 31st overall pick, as well as Wizard District’s pick (37th overall) acquired in a trade.
The 2023 NBA 2K League Draft pool will consist of players who win draft eligibility as part of the “NBA 2K League Draft Prospect Series,” “Sony Scouting Grounds” tournaments, unretained players from the 2022 season, select competitors in the NBA 2K League’s APAC, Australian and European Invitationals, and other high-performing players in the 2K community as determined by league and team officials. More than 100,000 people tried out to join the NBA 2K League.
On October 13, 2022, Hawks Talon GC won the NBA 2K League Draft Lottery and the right to the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA 2K League Draft. Entering the day, Hawks Talon held 2.1 percent odds of winning the first pick, the second-to-worst odds of any team in the lottery.
Last season, Hawks Talon GC advanced to bracket play in three out of four regular season tournaments, including three consecutively following THE TIPOFF Powered by AT&T. The team’s point guard, Caesar Martinez (CEEZ), was also named NBA 2K League Player of the Week twice (May 11, July 26) – making him the only player in the league last season to earn the award twice. His 27.2 points per game led the entire league during THE TURN. That culminated in the team’s first postseason berth in team history in Ismael Diaz-Tolentino’s first season as head coach.
