Anyways, by the time the NBA draft comes I hope we can end up with Zion and Bol Bol. Having Bol at center I think would allow us to at least try playing Zion at SF. If we get the #1 pick, Zion has to be the choice, but I also want Collins to be a PF practically full time. So in order to make that work we'd need a center who can be useful standing on the 3 point line and still present defensive value: enter Bol Bol.
Projectable is always going to be a big factor. This draft is not projectable
I disagree. There's gotta be at least 10 wings in this draft who project to be starters in the future. Which is a big deal considering how hard it is to find wing players who can score and defend their own position. Barrett, Reddish, Hachimura, K. Johnson, Culver, Little, Langford, Hunter, Alexander-Walker, Okpala and Doumbouya have a lot of positives to work with. They of course are flawed but in the right situation they could all become great players.
There are a few big men who provide some value defensive value and could develop further offensively. Gafford, Hayes, Fernando, Porter, hell even Naz Reid outside the lottery would be solid picks for a team wanting a center that could be developed. Morant has exploded at PG, and there are probably a few more players who will make a name for themselves. International class seems to be week, but as far as the Hawks are concerned this is a good draft for us to have multiple lottery picks in (hopefully).
jamaal sends carepackages a lot. I’m upset with the new age big man game and I’ve said it for years. This three point bonanza is killing the big man traditional game of going in the paint and handling ur biz.
