Hawks have been linked to Jase Richardson with the first of our draft selections and have reportedly worked out Maxime Raynaud and Hansen Yang, ostensibly to draft with the later of our picks.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like we're definitely looking for a young 7 foot big man to come off the bench in the future.

If neither CMB or Essengue are available, I'm now leaning towards taking Nolan Traore at #13.

Total homerun swing, but he also fills a need.

We scouted him in France very early last season...

Nolan Traore is a 38% shooter from the field and a turnover machine. He might be RAW but I don't believe we can be so risky.

There is no denying Traore's overall shooting numbers are ugly this season.

He struggled adjusting to the men's pro league in the early going.
He's been pretty phenomenal of late.

His floor is Dennis Schroeder (long term rotation player).
His ceiling is DeAaron Fox (multiple time all star).
His most likely outcome is San Antonio Dejounte Murray (fringe All Star).

Fox? Mutiple time Allstar? nope - more like ONE time Allstar.
