The 2020 version of Devean George?

His left leg is white, lets hope he jumps off his right foot. That is just crazy when that happens.

Dang I just read an article about this guy (am I Travis Schlenk?).

I'm intrigued at one of our seconds.

Any draft where we get Cam Reddish is my favorite. I wouldn't mind trading up with #10. But i want to stay at #8 period.

Would you take Cam over Hunter or Culver?

This guy has been growing on me like there’s no tomorrow. People say 10 is too high, trade down but only to 11-13, we don’t deal with Boston and he might not get past Ainge. Aren’t the Heat sitting at 13? Can’t risk that either he’s tailor made for their offseason conditioning program.

If for nothing else we get Clarke to drag Omari to the gym everyday :lol:

I dunno I see great things with him BECAUSE we have Trae.

I’ve always been team Cam as well. I still don’t think he gets to us at 8. I realize a couple teams in front of us are point guard hungry but somebody is gonna snag Cam before 8. I guess we will know more after workouts but he’s shooting up the boards.

Cam n Clarke for me right now.

No Jamalo posted an article on him about a month or so back. I’ll take him with a second as well. Beats the draft and stash. I dunno about you but I’m still waiting on Cenk Akyol. :roll:

Just FWIW and maybe a reminder on Bol:

Hawks at least so far have shown exactly 0 interest in Bol according to their athletic beat writer so for any Bol-hopers on this board, I'd temper your expectations.

Would love Clarke at this point with the second pick. At the least I think he can be an elite 6th man type with his defensive ability.

Lost hope in getting Hayes as this point. That length and athleticism will be coveted with his high upside.

If Bol checks out medically and Garland looking to get a promise in the lottery, maybe that will help push Cam on out to 8 still.

Intrigued with going Euro at 10 now. Goga could be the big man we need with Collins in the frontcourt. Sekou has a lot of upside. Don't think we go wrong with either. Even taking Reddish 8th, I think Sekou could grow more and be more of a 4, and be a shot blocker.

Trae Young has uninspiring measurables. Measurables are overrated, it's about being able to play.

Trae Young is also a much better offensive player than those guys as well. White could outplay his measurable's offensively, but Culver & Clarke are more suited as high end role players. That has value, but that's not saying a whole lot.

I like it. That would be best case scenario I guess. Still landing Reddish, and then seeing if Goga is something special would be interesting.

Spud2nique · Post #3472 » by **Spud2nique** » Fri May 17, 2019 2:14 am

I realized I hadn’t voted up top.

Cam is up to 15 votes and Clarke 4 now.

For the second one I’d rather Clarke at 12 or 13 but if you could strike a deal. Still went with Clarke to get him within a vote of Sekou and Hayes. I like that Bol has 7 votes :lol:

some of y’all wanna see a unicorn freak-show can’t hate on that. If we do draft Bol I’m obviously on board because he will be a Hawk but I’d need to purchase that jersey for sure.

Yes. Wouldn't think twice. I would take Hunter over Culver as was.

King Ken · Post #3474 » by **King Ken** » Fri May 17, 2019 2:35 am

Say what you want but I like the guys in the 8-13 range. I feel they are just as good as the ones in the 4-7 range. I think we did well with 8 and 10. I want Cam Reddish but I am not v. Nas Little at 10.

I have no appetite for Nas but if you like him then he’s in the same boat as Clarke to me as far as trading down to 11-13 to get him. Otherwise I think Nas stays put and possibly goes to Hornets. Hornets kind of need everything all over it seems so he’s an option there as well whether Kemba stays or goes.

NBA.com Sam Smith's 2019 Post-Lottery NBA Mock Draft

8.

Atlanta Hawks. Jarrett Culver. Texas Tech guard.

The Hawks are building an impressive young roster with Young. Culver as a scoring wing can work well with Kevin Huerter as a creator and also a shooter to play with Trae.

10.

Atlanta Hawks, Cam Reddish, Duke forward.

With their second first round as the have two from the trade last year with Dallas to drop from No. 3 to No. 5, it's worth a chance on a player like Reddish, who has been highly regarded but underachieving. That can occur playing with the young stars Duke had in Williamson and Barrett. Plus, Krzyzewski isn't the most creative strategist. So a third potential star could be obscured.

I went Coby and Bol Bol but its a tough call with Reddish. I love this guys mock. He has Chicago taking Clarke, the Wizards taking Hayes, and both Culver and Reddish dropping to us!

Sorry: Already posted but a haul like this deserves a double post.

pacehawk · Post #3480 » by **pacehawk** » Fri May 17, 2019 7:47 am

Sorry if this has already been brought up but if you were drafting for the Hawks and you didn’t already select Bol Bol (Which, I don’t think they will) do you consider picking Tacko Fall with one of your 2nd Round Picks? The Hawks have 3 2nd Round Picks so is it worth taking a gamble on this MASSIVE Player (This Guy IS Huge!!)?

What direction should Hawks go with their lottery picks?
