OFFICIAL NBA DRAFT THREAD. H's pick 23

[Ruhiel]

Late as always Hawks fans. Here you go.

[Jamaaliver]

Detroit is going to be a monster in 3 years.

Drummond AND Monroe?

Doesn't even seem fair...

[Jamaaliver]

I suspect Danny Ferry os going to go the foreign route with our pick.

I predict Evan Fournier will be picked at #23 to be our French Giinobili.

[Geaux_Hawks]

Detroit is going to be a monster in 3 years.

Drummond AND Monroe?

Doesn't even seem fair...

I actually mocked this. Thought Leonard would've been better though, but people love potential so I went drummond..

[Geaux_Hawks]

Fournier wouldn't be bad if he develops correctly..

[Jamaaliver]

It's definitely a risk drafting him, Geaux. But I look at Detroit as a good situation. And I think Drummond and Monroe, if they hit it off, could make a pretty fantastic pairing.

I like the front office in Detroit for guys like him and Lawrence Frank is a guy that won't bear down too hard on him.

[Jamaaliver]

And Fournier just went 20 to Denver. That's the 2nd time they've taken our guy recently in the draft.

A few years back the talk was that ATL was in love with Ty Lawson at PG and he was our guy. Denver stole Lawson one pick before ours and we settled for Jeff Teague.

Looks like they got yet another steal in this draft.

With no Fournier on board, I have no clue who we draft...

Arnett Moutlrie or Jared Sullinger would be good value.

[Geaux_Hawks]

I see Moultrie or Wroten..

[GrimeyKidd]

I hope for BPA so Perry Jones III please

[Jamaaliver]

lol...I just read the draftexpress.com profile on Perry Jones III who seems to be dropping like a rock. The best case scenario he could develop into, according to them, is

Rudy Gay meets Josh Smith

.

So I guess I'm rooting for Moultrie or Perry Jones.

[Geaux_Hawks]

Man my wish came true. Wish we could take Jones

[Jamaaliver]

Sekou says it's John Jenkins. Which makes me sad....

I'm going to bed.

[HoopsGuru25]

This reminds of when Lawson almost fell to us in 2009....They HAVE to take Wroten here. Perry Jones can't rebound,block shots,or get to the free throw line against college competition. He's like Yi w/o the jumper.

[parson]

John Jenkins? We're going to draft Willie Green?

DraftExpress says he "falls into the category of shooting specialist who lags behind in the athleticism department … is not a particularly quick, fast or explosive player at all "

[parson]

Even if Ezeli is a backup Center, we need one of those more than we need a backup anything else.

[Jamaaliver]

I'd have preferred Doron Lamb if we were going for a shooter.

I'd have preferred to trade back and draft Ezeli.

Man I hate the Hawks.

[parson]

THIS is what we get for hiring a GM right before the draft: he hasn't had the time to learn just how badly we need a big man.

By the time he figures that out...

[KingTrue]

yall need chill dont like the pick of John Jenkins he more scorer than shooter trust me he can create his own shot he game more to Ray Allen than Willie Green and Joddie Meeks watch him light up summer league and have good rookie season!

[Geaux_Hawks]

Even if we needed a center, should have taken Jones, traded Josh in a deal that could facilitate us getting Asik..

[FCNATL85]

ATL needs to move Marvin for an eraly second to Get Ezeli , Jones or Moultrie if still there...
