If the Hawk trade up, who would you take at #4 or #5?

I'm not sure I follow.

Why would the Hawks trade up to #4 and not draft the consensus best player on the draft board (Caleb Wilson)?
Hawks could easily grab Yaxel, Hannes or Nate Ament at #8.



NOTE: Clippers seem almost guaranteed to trade out of the #5 slot on draft night.

I would first be sure to evaluate Nate Ament as much as possible if that's why the Clippers are trading out of the 4th spot.

Hawks would draft Caleb Wilson.

He only needs some biscuits & gravy and three point range to be successful.

5th would be Darius Acuff Jr.
