    Caleb Williams is the best option for the Hawks because Hawks need a double double threat center. Next best pick for the Hawks would be one of those top 2 point guards

    Hey Brad…who's in that #9 area??? Unfortunately…that seems very possible! Tanking is REAL…8 tankers plus the PELS not tanking = 9!

    Caleb Wilson, phylon or Christian Andersen with our second first. I believe Jalen Johnson has yet to reach his ceiling. For him to continue to develop he has to play PF. Unless he learns to handle the ball better and shoot consistently over the offseason. In which case he’d be able to play SF. JK is already eating Jalen’s minutes. I’d get a center in the second and trade Gueye for another second draft Dame Sarr with the acquired pick. Defensively he may be the best in basketball. I’d really draft Flemings, Acuff or wagler, Yaxel Lendeborg or bdongga, Dame Sarr, then Mara or Chinyilu.

    Hawks need to draft Kingston Fleming (guard) Houston, or Mikael brown jr (guard) Louisville, with their first pick and with their 2 first round pick jayden Quaintance (Center) Kentucky or Patrick Ngongba ll (Center) Duke
