KB21 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I looked at 19 mock drafts on the net to see who the most projected player for the Hawks at each position was. Here are the results: #6 1. Shaun Livingston, PG, 6'7", Peoria Central (7 times) 2. Ben Gordon, PG, 6'2", Connecticut (6 times) 3. Andre Iguodala, SG, 6'6", Arizona (3 times) 4. Josh Smith, SF, 6'8", Oak Hill Academy (1 time) -. Luol Deng, SF, 6'8", Duke (1 time) -. Devin Harris, PG, 6'3", Wisconsin (1 time) The favorite projection for the Hawks looks to be Shaun Livingston at the 6th pick, with Ben Gordon a close second. Andre Iguodala is the only other player projected multiple times to Atlanta with this pick. #17 1. Josh Smith, SF, 6'8", Oak Hill Academy (5 times) 2. J.R. Smith, SG, 6'6", St. Benedict's High School (4 times) 3. Al Jefferson, PF, 6'10", Prentiss High School (3 times) 4. Peter Ramos, C, 7'3", Criollos de Caguas (2 times) 5. Pavel Podkolzin, C, 7'5", Metis Varese (1 time) -. Rafael Araujo, C, 6'11", BYU (1 time) -. Kris Humphries, PF, 6'10", Minnesota (1 time) -. Luke Jackson, SG, 6'7", Oregon (1 time) -. Anderson Varejao, PF, 6'11", FC Barcelona (1 time) The favorite for the 17th pick looks to be Josh Smith, with J.R. Smith and Al Jefferson close behind. Peter Ramos sneaks in with two projections. Overall, it seems that most feel Atlanta will end up with Shaun Livingston and Josh Smith with their two first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzachary Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Sounds great to me, too. I would be happy with either Livingston or Gordon, although Gordon would make us question JT's role. I'm just ready some new Hawks. Let's see them already!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Livingston is easily my favorite for #6. At #17, I want Araujo/Humphries/Josh Smith, in that order. If we can snag one of them, I'll be happy, even though many mocks have them projected higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 They are going to take Ben Gordon at the third pick, which means that LA will likely take Shaun Livingston. If you want Livingston, you better hope LA takes Devin Harris instead. ESPN did mention something about LA possibly looking at Harris with the 4th pick, but with Gordon gone, I believe they will go with Livingston.

DJ_Money Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I don't really get my hopes up with this team anymore, as something always seems to happen. Actually, I'm somewhat looking forward to the "This Team Sucks!" and "This Franchise Is Doomed!" topics that will appear on Thursday night when we draft the guy that somebody didn't want. Oh the chaos that would erupt if Knight shocked us all by going with Biedins or Podkolzine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunt91 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Chicago would come out best taking Deng at 3rd and Luke Jackson at 7th and calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
