Official 2019 Draft thread

Hawks had a great draft.

Meanwhile, i think Pete Babcock or Billy Knight must have snuck into the Suns war-room and sabotaged their draft.

Trae/vet backup point (via free agency)

Huerter/Bembry

Hunter/Reddish (For now)

Collins/Spellman

Fernando/Len (Fernando will be a Day 1 starter for Center calling it right now! LP is going to love this dude)

 

I would bring back Vince and pursue Derrick Rose to be our sixth man. 

[txsting]

These will be popular picks for sure.

Pelicans, Hawks and Grizz won the draft... Pheonix and Cleveland I feel are the losers.

I Don't see Vince coming back now because of the logjam we have on the wings.

Huerter
Bazemore
Bembry
Hunter
Reddish
Crabbe
Hill
plus Vince might want to sign with Toronto for his last season, and finish where he started

Dayum, we traded for Bruno? Go to bed, Schlank!  You killin' 'em.

This draft got me ...

I'm in love with this draft.

Ok, going to bed now .... with this draft.

This draft turned out so well.  I’m wiping a tear from my eye and starting to construct my Travis Schlenk shrine.  Oh Travis, who art our GM, stellar are thy picks.  You got our wings, you got some cash, a second rounder with first round upside.  Give us this day potential All-Stars as we forgive those who lost their shit at thee.  And lead us back into contention but take the time we need to build right.  For thine are the young picks, the 2020 cap space and the path to future rings.  Ahhh yeah!!!

Yea, I don't think Vince comes back, (and I don't think Rose would pick the Hawks either). But it's my hope.

I started this draft angry and end with a small sip of 20 year old scotch and a wry chuckle at my own expense. What an incredible draft. I think we are going to look back at these last two drafts the way Dubs fans look at their miracle drafts that netted them Curry, Klay and Green. 

We have several solid good young players and after this season will have gobs of cap space. This team will be exactly the kind of upcoming hungry young team that you can actually talk a star into joining as a free agent.

Can't wait to start this season. We ALL should be very happy as Hawks fans about this draft and the state of our franchise moving forward.

[capstone21]

I like that we added D which needed to be a focus ... 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Dangit New Orleans!!

They took Jordan at #57, which I think goes to Philly, that we traded to get Bruno.   ESPN couldn't keep up with what Schlenk has done tonight.

Just go back to school dude.

Hilarious.

And amen.

[capstone21]

Was so worried leading up to today that we were going to select Naz and Bol with 10/17 ... so happy how this draft ended up.

Not kidding. I have no idea how he makes things work but he does. I said before the draft Travis plays chess while most GMs play checkers.

I see Vince as the backup to Collins.

Woj's last words " Atlanta has done a terrific job these last two drafts! "

Sbnation had a year to early draft and Cam was ranked number one

The ceiling on Cam is crazy....I don't think we could've had a better outcome considering our shit luck in the lottery. I keep doubting Travis but he keeps proving me wrong....great night for the Hawks!!!

He basically turned 8 - 10 into 4 and 5... Just awesome.
