Hawks to draft Trae Young here is more info 

Post#1 » by magic111 » Thu Jun 7, 2018 9:08 pm

Guys I have heard by couple of people now that I really wish I could tell you who they are that the Hawks look like they are drafting Trey Young either at 3 but most likely they will draft somebody else at 3 and then have a team like Memphis or Dallas draft
Trae Young and then they'll do a swap and collect an asset but the Hawks seem to be in love with Trae Young as long as Bagley goes to the Kings. This also make some sense as he is working out for the Hawks and the Hawks GM has said that they might trade down a couple of spots if they trade down a couple of spots it's for young and all things point to them wanting to draft young as long as bagly goes to the kings

I'm not believing a word of the bull s that's going around the draft. Everyone knows it's Ayton and anyone's guess from that point on which is going to make it fun. I would feel much better at 5 but a really good player is coming our way at 6 no matter what. Let everyone else believe the noise and over pay.

most likely Jeron Jackson is the one falling out of the top five if young goes top five so we are looking at JJJ or Michael Porter Junior and ESPN has us taking Carter Junior in the last few mock drafts


with the news coming out today that Michael Porter Junior will share his medicals that he had the ball staff do and he will share those with every team in the next week he will be doing another pro day for the top 10 teams in the draft so Orlando is going to look at him and if they're going best player available he's going to be the best player available at six if it's bad checks out

interesting. Not hearing that from the beat reporters here in Atlanta. they are still on the Bagley train as far as i hear. not saying im plugged in, just listening to all the reporters from TV and radio here trying to get what they can out of the team

if the top 5 is Ayton\bags\trae\bamba\doncic, im taking porter or Carter all day over Jackson

But ill say this, if porters medical records are clean, i dont see him being there at 6. If young goes ahead of us, i see doncic falling to us
1 - Ayton
2 - Bags
3 - Bamba (dallas trades up to keep bamba in texas)
4 - Carter
5 - Young (Atl drops down and gets young)
6 - Doncic (if memphis takes him, i think we go porter)

Looking at the winning teams, we desperately need wings. Still like Mikal. one of the best shooters in the draft, can also guard 4 positions. If the FO thinks Porter is healthy and can play SF, i would assume they take him. Something about him still has me putting Mikal over him. but ive been wrong many times before

Reports now were Doncic could drop to 4. I can't see him sticking around to 6 though but would be ecstatic if he did. I have a feeling he'll drop to 5 and be a tease just like Porzingis was to me in his draft class.

Bulls fan here. if true that kind of stinks, cause for some reason im starting to want Trae.

But, right now its the peak of smokescreen season so gotta take it with a grain of salt.

I dont see why this would be a big deal if true.

All the teams picking after the Hawks want Bigs.

So 4 & 5 would select two from.
JJJ
Bamba
Wendell carter
MPJR

That means Doncic would fall to us at 6. I think it's a smoke screen to see what the value is for the pick and to see if they can get a 1st round pick for Schroeder from one of the teams needing a PG.

First off, nobody knows anything about the draft right now, so any rumors or anything about teams making up their minds already is BS. On the topic of a team picking Trae before #6, it's really not the end of the world. Trae is who I want the Magic to draft and of course, I'll be disappointed if he is gone, but there are plenty of really great prospects who are going to be available at #6. If Trae is gone then that means some has dropped, so you're there is going be a good player available due to that. You also will very likely have Carter Jr. available, another personal favorite. Then, of course, the Magic could always look to trade down a bit and draft Knox. This is a very good Top 10, the Magic will get an excellent prospect no matter what, even though I do hope it's Trae.

I don't want Trae to go to your team because I have Kris Dunn on my fantasy team :lol:

if Bagley is there at three Hawks will take him but to Bagley will go number two to the Kings Donic is falling

If Doncic is available at 4, GM's will be fired. And the Magic should do everything in their power to move up.

Kings wouldn't have the balls to pass on Doncic. Not after their tortured history

Return to Orlando Magic
