I don't have that intel and won't have that intel as they haven't even brought the guys in yet.

I still agree with that. Have you paid attention to my posts on Sarr as a big wing. My issue with him is with the Hawks, in particular as a big where his bust potential is through the roof.

Shades ain't a direct comparison

They have, believe me, they have. They know about these guys.

We aren't drafting a wing with likely BI coming unless it's Sarr and that's long term development. It's gonna be Clingan or Sarr. Upside/potential superstar v. Floor/fit with Trae. No one else is in the race when it comes down to it. When you are in this range, you only have 4-5 options at most. Edey is not in this range and he won't be either. This is Dillingham, Risacher, Clingan, and Sarr range. Teams around the league have labeled this as their range.

You maybe can sell me on Sarr without Trae but zero chance with Trae. These wishful thinking scenarios, I am not buying.

All of these guys are bigs. All of them. Sarr isn't. His metrics are horrendous in terms of big man offense. Can't screen No big man movement package No post up game Bro might be a good long term fit for Quin but he's horrendous fit for Trae whereas Clingan is a tremendous fit for Trae but his upside is clearly lower than Sarr, he's a big man whereas Sarr isn't. No Ceilings loves Sarr but the scout from them is negative in all big man offensive areas and before you speak negatively about his league, the other prospect is this league has superior big man numbers in the same league and he's unlikely to be drafted. https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/alex-sarr-the-undisputed-number-one His upside is his overall offensive versatility in time as a big wing in time but for now, he's really doesn't have a position. Defensively, he's a generational switch defender, rim protector, and man defender in space but as a big man, he struggles in drop since he's a poor paint protector and weak, how does that work with Trae who you have to play drop for because he gets abused off the ball like crazy? I don't see the fit at all. I can even make sense of San Antonio but I can't with Atlanta. We got to hit on this pick. The salary alone says we can't miss.

That would work as well as long as they are patient with Sarr

He doesn't have their frame. Giannis and Dwight had tremendous frames. Even as skinny as Giannis was, he had them broad shoulders. Sarr looks like he will be 230 max. Idk right now.

1. Trade the pick for star vet 2. Trade down with SA for 4 and 8 3. Clingan 4. Sarr but with a legit development plan.

You posted Giannis. I am saying this is not the same situation like Giannis. We have a franchise player. We also have expectations. Giannis was given years to become who he has become. We don't have that time to give

He was still a shit screener and Jones is literally a much better PnR finisher as a prospect. Sarr is bad at everything around the rim but finishing lobs. He's not a big. Jones is just an extremely limited big.

Thats more positive based on Quin than our fit. He maybe a fit with Quin but Trae is our best player.

This will take so much time. We are talking at the earliest, he's in the rotation in 2025 and maybe if we land BI, that's not a bad thing. Trae BI Sarr JJ ??? Damn near everyone 6'9 and athletic af. This is if his development is super fast and who knows, we saw Vit improvement in College Park

Giannis was pick 15 on a team with nothing with upside. He was given so much patience. The Hawks have a team built around Trae Young. Trae expects for us to win now. We rush this guy and put him at the 5, we our gonna f*** up our investment asap. The risk is way too high. Everyone that wants us to draft him are comparing him to polished guys 10x better than he is. He may have more talent than most guys, hell, he would be one of the most talented players in last year's draft too but his floor is so damn low. I don't like it and comparing it to Giannis doesn't speak to where we are and where we are with the pick.

I am pissed. Anyone wants to tell me off because they want me to praise someone i think will bust, can get the smoke today.

Thank goodness workouts haven't started yet. That said, that doesn't give me much hope either. I do expect Sarr to shine in individuals and since he's in this range, he doesn't have to play in a group setting. This was always my fear. The upside play and this doesn't even make sense either. People will sell on Sarr but I've watched the games in full. If he was that guy, believe me, I would be the first looking for him to be a member of the Hawks but he's not. I wasn't for Marvin over CP3 and I believe this would be a bigger mistake.

Maybe SA falls in love with someone and trades 4 and 8 to us Moderator Note: The remainder of this post was an unacceptable and profane personal attack. This is not allowed on Hawksquawk.

Brooklyn, we got the 1st overall pick for ya

Daniel wasn't even celebrating either. Ugh

Hell yeah! I want someone who can actually execute in the half court and play possession by possession basketball. This ain't NBA Live where you can run up and down the court with the defense having no awareness

Lmao. Evan Mobley was miles better as a prospect on defense and Mobley plays like a big. Not a big wing. Ya'll gonna cry when you see how raw this kid is. Stop watching highlights. Watch full games

Man, I hope we trade the pick. Giannis, come to Atlanta

He doesn't have Giannis body type or those shoulders.

If your screens are shit, what benefit does it give Trae?
