[Givony] The Hawks have been unable to bring Alex Sarr in for a workout to this point, but the door remains open for that to potentially happen. Clingan appears to be Risacher’s main rival at No. 1.

Never did I imagine being this down about having the number 1 pick.

what the fuck does that even mean bro oh my god

Taking Risacher is going to be a blunder
His ceiling is DeAndre Hunter.
Clingan is fine but trade down for more assets then get him.

I know players refuse to work out with teams pretty regularly but this is embarrassing, he won’t work out for the team with the top pick who isn’t even horrible?

If there’s a year to trade back, this is it. Sarr either wants to play pf or be a main option in an offense, a playoff caliber team jumping to the top spot ensures he won’t do either of those

folks just be blabbing at this point

I wonder how the fanbase will blame management for this
Atlanta’s in a unique situation with the crazy lottery bounce and have been working out/scouting basically everyone for number 1.
Sarr denying them a workout is a legit bad look for him. Irregardless of his belief in fit/situation.
He’s getting bad advice. Or he just really believes himself to be a 4….unlike this reddit lol

It sounds like the Hawks are putting A LOT of stock into in-person workouts. Usually those are like a bonus on top of normal scouting work.
I wonder if it’s because they’re relatively behind the pack scouting these top guys (which Landry has admitted) or because they just prefer to see it themselves.
Either way, them putting all this pressure on workouts and Sarr seemingly declining to work out for them, seems to make this Clingan v Risacher. Sorry to the Sarr-hards in the sub

Insiders have said he has had 1 workout with Atlanta

Sarr only average 9.7 points. He should show up to every workout request in the top five.

Can’t really blame a guy for not wanting to visit ATL in the summer

Can this sub finally stop obsessing over Sarr now? It’s obviously Risacher or Clingan at this point, or some trade down option which won’t be Sarr.

Just fyi for anybody that didn’t know – a lot of prospects ducked our workouts last year, too. We didn’t work out AJ or Kobe before drafting them.

> The status of Atlanta’s Trae Young is the big question hovering over the franchise. One option that has been widely discussed among teams is the possibility of the Hawks reacquiring their unprotected 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio (perhaps in a swap for the No. 4 pick), which would give the team far more flexibility for rebuilding. That would currently be difficult to fathom, with their next three draft picks (2025, 2026 swap rights and 2027) owned by the Spurs.
> The Hawks worked out Reed Sheppard last week and Clingan before that, two attractive options at No. 4 should they elect to slide back. Atlanta also brought in Matas Buzelis, Cody Williams and Ron Holland for workouts. — Givony
This is the most interesting part imo.
Trade down to 4 and pick either Reed Sheppard or Clingan would be a huge win.

Blazers will pick Clingan for you guys and trade him + other assets for Sarr.
