He is 21 years old.

Anybody who folows the draft would say to you that those skills are the hardest to develope. Especialy big men. KAT was a great defensive player in the College level and he is a sieve because the NBA is just to fast for him to proces. Collins isnt switchable, his positional defense aint good and his decision making is poore. If he can fix 2 of those problems great. I doubt he will. He probably thinks he is a good defender because he can block shoots.

Have a good day sir

Funny. He was your reference point when he agreed with you a minute ago. :)

I sure hope the Knicks win the lottery and we get #2. I'm still not sold that Williamson will be a longterm solution.

I just hope we keep the Dallas pick. That's all I'm asking for.

I gave u a like until the last statement. Zion is gonna be a top 10 player in NBA history barring injury imo. I know that’s bold but he’s a monster.

Eh, gimme my like back. :lol:

I think he's gonna get hurt, honestly. I'd hate to see that but I also can't see it not happening based on how he plays.

Word is if Knicks get #1, they're trading it for AD.

I'd love to trade the pick, but with him if you trade it and he becomes a superstar you get crushed by history. 3-4 more hours.

Folks are reporting that like it's news. Wasn't that always their plan?

Wait, why would they need to trade it. They can just add Zion to AD and Kyrie or Durant and Kyrie.

Just as most of us surmised, Culver is pretty high on the Hawks board. I hope all this is a smokescreen, I just think Morant is the better player and give the team better returns on a trade.

Tired of the speculation, get this lotto drawing over with. Just hope they don't move both picks to get Culver, that's a bee sting on the nuts.

They trade the #1 to get AD

I would flip **** if they took Culver at 2, and question if Schlenk has any clue what he is doing. At least take Barrett or trade the pick before you take Culver at 2.

Call me Crazy but I would select Bol Bol if he is still on the Board at #10! Could be a Strike Out or could be a Homerun but since the Hawks have two #1’s why not swing for the fence on one of them?

For me, Hunter is out of range

Reddish
Clarke
Hayes
Bol are my top targets

Fernando, Culver, Little, Goga, and Sekou deserves a look.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
