Ante Zizic seems like he could be a likely rotation player 2-3 years from now. At this point...I'd just settle for a guy capable of playing meaningful NBA minutes.

Something most of our recent picks have been incapable of.

Bembry is my choice here, with Prince as a close 2nd. Think either guy would fit in nicely with the Hawks' team atmosphere and also addresses a position of need.

Skal.

If Skal falls this far, I don't see how you don't take the guy. He's a project, but he has potential through the roof. If you bring back Horford, that gives Skal plenty of time and veteran knowledge to learn and put on mass. With our coaching staff's ability to make lesser guys better, 2-3 years down the road, you will be glad you got your hands on a guy with so much upside as he should be ready to make the leap as a top PF/C, and be apart of a super talented young core with him and Dennis.

Since Zizic got a little love in the thread, we'll call the tie for him. Good luck in the draft.
