I would take Ben McLemore, Cody Zeller, or Alex Len.

Hard choice. I would want Noel. He hurt himself recently though. Len may not be #1 pick worthy, but he would be my next pick. Honestly, I say trade it because Zeller may not be a center either. I think he has value at the PF spot, but could play the 5.

After watching Noel, I don't think he is very good on offense, but now that I think about it, Al Horford could help him get better on offense, still team needs aside McLemore is the best player.

McLemore isn't a game changer though. I like Mclemore, but he isn't an elite level prospect. He would intrigue me a lot more if he was taking games over for Kansas, and creating a lot more shots for himself.

As far as Noel goes on offense, well yeah, he isn't so great on offense, but his impact on defense is what stands out, and has done so since he was in high school. It's what made him a potential #1 pick.

Well, if we're going to have the 1st overall, the stars must really be aligned, so I'll assume we signed Dwight Howard and re-signed Josh Smith and Jeff Teague.

That means we'd want a SG. I'd - in that case - draft Ben McLemore.

And, just before I woke up, Jerry Sloan would appear on the scene to coach 'em.
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

Well of course the wrong choice is your first choice.

Zeller is garbage, I wouldn't take him anywhere before lotto.

Trade the pick for a future pick+

Return to Atlanta Hawks
