    The Hawks say they have reached an agreement "in principle" for the 6-foot-11 Gueye, and the details will be finalized at a future date.

    The Celtics drafted Gueye with the No. 39 overall pick in the second round on Thursday night before reaching the agreement to trade the rights to Gueye to Atlanta.

    Gueye, from Senegal, moved to California when he was 16. He averaged 14.3 points and 8.4 rebounds for Washington State as a sophomore last season.
