If the Hawks, by some miracle, get a top 3 pick, who are you drafting?

I just sim’d it 18 times for us to crack the top 3 pick and I ended up with #2.

 

I’m with @kg01 TRADE TRADE TRADE..

But if you want players..

1st pick: Sarr

2nd pick : Clingan

3rd pick: I dunno 🤷‍♀️..

This is one of the weakest drafts I can recall.

So inevitably we will crack a top 3 pick. 😆

Yup.

I said it earlier, but it would be the most Hawks thing ever to get the top pick in one of the weakest top end drafts in the last 20 years.  Hell, I'm halfway expecting it at this point.  And then they can make a pick, have 2nd or 3rd guy taken turn into an all star and have to listen to the entire NBA mock the Hawks for screwing it up.

They’re finally realizing Jamie isn’t exactly a lucky charm. 

She was for me in “don’t tell her it’s me” aka the boyfriend school 🏫.. 1989..

I got free HBO and that movie 🎥 played a lot and well.. let’s just say Jamie and I go way back. Very nurturing and caring even though she was dealing with a young teen in me. 
 

It’s also around the time my parents kept buggin about me being in the bathroom and taking baths 🛁 for too long… 

Coincidentally it was roughly around the same time these occurrences took place.

 

You always remember your first. :jesus:

I will say she moved us from 5 to 3 in 2018, we took Luka and got Trae.

It’s still better than the Anthony Bennett draft.

Those that would want to trade the pick, who are you trading the pick for?  There has to be some balance with the win now approach vs also having a long view of things.  Are you really going to pass on a potential Rudy Gobert when you are not likely to get that caliber of player in a trade for this pick?

What is the rationale behind limiting the teams with access?  Seems like any team could trade into the top 10 and would need that info to assess whether to make such a deal.

My guess is they are trying to protect certain markets to get the best possible odds to keep their pick.

I like 1 but I'd feel better about it if JI could ever stay healthy.

2 is good, even though I think BI is is overpaid and probably not as good as his rep. Daniels is the real prize here though. 

3 is just eww. Hard pass

4 is great but I'd prefer to send out someone other than Bogi. Send Hunter instead, imo.

Don’t look for the Hawks to go into the draft with the idea that they have to draft a certain position or a need.  Based on the rankings, I anticipate that they will have quite a few guys on their list at 10:

Cody Williams/Colorado

Ron Holland/Ignite

Reed Sheppard/Kentucky

Dalton Knecht/Tennessee

Rob Dillingham/Kentucky

Ja’Kobe Walter/Baylor

Isaiah Collier/USC

Players that probably will go in the 2-6 area that they will have interest in:

Donovan Clingan/UConn

Stephon Castle/UConn

Matas Buzelis/Ignite

Zaccharie Risacher/France

Exactly.. load defensive studs around JJ and Trae..

Main reason its JJ and Trae is DJM will be needed to get some studs and we definitely shouldn't trade JJ or Trae.
