i could see him being the 2nd coming of kyle korver. knocking down open 3s coming off screens. ATL has a great system in place where his weaknesses can be covered up.

We got the versatile project 4/5 and a solid PG. On the roster we currently have 4 other guards, 2 small forwards and no bigs. I think we need to get back into the 2nd Round and target Kevon Looney.

Yeah but they were chucking SG's and one that thought he was a good enough shooter to chuck. Phil tends to like off guards that can play make.. none of those guys could.

You're going to see a back court of Grant and Galloway which to me now looks like a Phil Jackson backcourt.

well grant is also 23 years old. Porzingis was obviously picked as a high potential high ceiling pick.

I look at it like this.

Would you rather have a Porzingis/Grant draft

or

Mudiay/Looney draft

I think I would rather have the former by a long shot. Grant seems like he can do a lot of what Mudiay can do.

SG is definitely a main target for Free Agency.
