Who do you want at #6?

Um,  I don't know how I feel about this. I like Antman, but Kevin is more valuable right now to me.

If Hawks like Culver that's about as good a deal as you're going to get to move to #1. The 2021 pick has a top 7 protection so that cushions the blow of losing that pick.

What's the major difference between Vassell and Okoro?

Vassell is better shooter. Okoro is more freakish athlete.

Which one is the better playmaker? I dont want a guy who doesn't have at least a decent handle.

If we draft Halliburton, then Kevin probably gets traded or has his role diminished. 

Totally agree, I just don’t see how it could work Long term.

They had an NBA mock draft on Twitter and Hawks traded to number #1. It went like like this, Hawks get #1 and Jarrett Culver, T-wolves get #6, #50, Kevin Heurter, Bembry, and a top 7 protected 2021 1st round pick. 

No way I’m trading our 2021 1st protected or not.

no way.

The scary good thing about Okoro is that he pretty much comes equipped with everything BUT a reliable shot. He's got a real good handle. He's got great passing vision. He can penetrate. He's an elite finisher, with either hand. And of course he's a shut-down corner. Oh by the way, he's also got the motor and work ethic to develop his shot.

Vassell doesn't have much of a handle, and therefore doesn't have much penetrating ability. But he's a top-tier team defender. Thus, some of his fans describe him as a poor-man's Klay Thompson. But Klay might be one of the greatest shooters of all time. So I see Vassell's peak outcome as a Kris Middleton, which would be real good, but not nearly the ceiling that Okoro has in my opinion.

I’m all in on vassell/okoro rn.

Do not want Haliburton at all.

I don't think it is wise to spend a top 10 lottery pick on a Backup PG.  I have it down to Toppin, Okoro or Okungwu if we stay at #6.

1. Okoro

2. Avdija

3. Okongwu

4. Toppin

5. Vassell

Switch Deni with Okongwu and That’s pretty much my big board also.

Pretty much the same 5 for me. Although, I kinda hope Avdija is gone so we don't have to consider him. It's mainly Okoro, Toppin, or Vassell for me.

Yeah I’m not that high on Deni also.

1- Who do we want?  2- Who do we need?

Personally, I believe the Hawks greatest need is a back up PG.  Therefore I want Tyrese Haliburton...

What happened last season when Trae was out?  Usually, nothing.  Can't have nothing time.

Whoever we draft at #6 will be a backup next season. 

Now we know that Trae is entrenched as out starting PG of the future and any pg we take have less of a chance of supplanting him as the starter going forward.

Can any of the other position players be good enough to eventually overtake one of our incumbments as the starter in year #2?

Totally agree with this. Open to Obi also. But Hal No to Haliburton!

I think Okoro or Vassell could claim the SF spot within a year or two.

What makes you want Haliburton over Hayes? 

I lean towards Hayes due to his better size, similar playmaking, and his free throw percentage leads me to believe he'll be a good shooter. 

I've started to like Okoro the more I watch his scouting reports.  His shot isn't broken, but it needs some work.  The free throw shooting scares me a bit too.

I don't see that.  They both will be backups their first two years.  Kevin, Cam, and Hunter improvement will probably make them a backup.
