I do suspect this will be Quin's primary draft target.

I believe this is who Hawks are targeting in this draft class.

Khaman Maluach won't be drafted in the top 10.

NBA level coaching and development will do him wonders.

I suspected this was our draft target.

He isn't a perfect prospect, but he makes sense for our needs long term.

Is he a better prospect than Kel'el Ware? :dontknow:

If Hawks believe he's their Center of the future...
#13 + #22 + Kobe to Toronto for Maluach on draft night.

If he hits as hard as we believe, no one will care that we gave up fringe picks/players to grab him.

Old article (Dyson Daniels segment about how Kyle Korver has helped him)

Duke star Khaman Maluach details how Hawks GM Kyle Korver helped him 'believe in himself' amid crucial season before 2025 NBA Draft

“This is the things that I do first like I shoot threes like they don’t expect…The whole summer I’ve been working on it with Kyle Korver. We worked on it for a long time. Kyle really helped me fix my shot,” Maluach said in an interview with ESPN.

“Kyle always tells me to focus and believe that I can shoot. When I started believing in myself, I started shooting more,” he said. "Kyle came to the academy in 2021 to visit and I got to know him from there. ..."
