[Jamaaliver]

[Jamaaliver]

I'd still strongly consider trading back into the first round for ZE.

Edey in OKC or Memphis makes too much sense for Western Teams that need to go through Nikola Jokic every year, right?

I would love to have Edey on the Hawks and I have no idea why you spend so much time posting on non Hawk senarios on the Hawk's board. A lot of your posts would be better placed on the GB or the draft board. Hawks board should be for Hawk's related stuff

X player to x non Hawk team is not Hawk's board material

Edey to Hawks? Yes for Hawks board
Edey to OKC WTF?

I am high on Edey. And I spent all College BBall season scouting him and his potential fit for the Hawks.

Once we missed out on the Sacramento pick this summer, it became unlikely he'd end up here.

Once we moved from #10 to #1, it's a near certainty he won't be drafted here.

But where he gets drafted still effects this team. If we pass on 300 lb Zach Edey to draft a certain 220 pound Center from France, and then Edey gets drafted by Miami or New York or Boston - that feels like a relevant development.



NOTE: The General Board isn't a great place to talk basketball. It's just Hot Take Central.

I hear ya. With whatever trades happen I would love to get a pick that becomes Edey, but that has nothing to do with you sending him to OKC or MEM. THat is GB or draft board material. Let's try to keep our board Hawkscentric

I can't lie, my great fear is that Miami will grab Edey, plug him in at the 5 spot and we get bodied every year for the next decade by the Canadian Yao Ming.

I was always OK taking him with the Sac pick. Stupid Kings

[King Ken]

My call hasn't changed one bit, it would be the biggest mistake in the Hawks 75-year history if they do not leave this draft with Zach Edey. A perfect fit with Trae in my scout. I clearly am not saying draft him at 1 as that's a reach, then again, drafting anyone at 1 in this draft to me is a reach in terms of value.

100% with you on that. I want Sarr and Edey from this draft

While I am clearly, Edey over Clingan for Atlanta due to fit with Trae along, I still see both bigs as optimal fits and while this will change my opinion none on Sarr or Risacher, if Atlanta gets one of Edey or Clingan that at least solves our biggest issue which is a 5 with legit size to play with Trae.

If Atlanta wants to take Risacher or Sarr, I could really care less. Sure Risacher will make us better asap, it won't be much better, just slightly and Sarr is too raw on offense.

Just come away with one of the bigs is all I ask. If it's just OO and Capela, you deserve everything you get and if it's OO and Jonas who's also washed like CC, you deserve everything you get. Don't blue shirt meme this. Get one of these two behemoths and do whatever you want, I could care less.

How is it that the best college player is barely getting top 20 consideration? 7'5" 300 lbs and historic agility numbers for a C at the combine. Best scorer and rebounder per 36 in NCAA. Took his team to the finals as best player

I think that too many people are in to projection and can't see what is right in front of their eyes

[NDaATL]

Agreed, I think Edey is going to go much higher than projected. Would love to get him and Sarr in this draft.

Dude has a chance to be really special in a league with virtually no post defenders.
