Flagg at 1, Harper at 2. The third pick is where it gets spicy IMO, and it's an eye of the beholder type thing. I'd probably go Bailey, but I know Kasparas has a lot of fans.

Ace Bailey strikes me as a player that will make multiple All Star Games in his career...but get multiple Coaches and GMs fired along the way.

I get serious Carmelo Anthony vibes from the kid.

I totally get the concern. Until about 3 weeks ago I would have passed on him in the top 3, and maybe even top 5. But the flashes are too many and I've given in lol. But I like this class until about the 7th pick, then it's a a larger tier.

No Capela tonight.

Might be tough for you to lose tonight with Capela now added to the injury report. Down to Onyeka as our only big.

Hawks are a 5pt favorite

Last 10 meetings: Hawks 6-4

Previous Meeting: Hawks won 136-107....Dec 29, '24

Both teams are 4-6 in their last ten games.

Say what you want about Zacc's shooting, but we miss his defense.

I get it but we were right there. Unfortunately, too many empty possessions to end. Missed 6 of 7 shot attempts.

When I saw a Trae, GMat, Bogi, Roddy, Barlow lineup, it made me :cry:
