Assuming they stay at 5th and 7th I'd take Jarrett Culver at 5 and Texas center Jaxson Hayes at 7. Culver will contribute right away. He'll fit in nicely on offense and he's solid defensively. Hayes won't turn 19 till next month. He is already 6'11'' 220lb with a 7'3'' wingspan. he runs like a deer and his defensive upside is elite. The Hawks are absolutley awful on defense. Adding 2 players with plus defense will be huge.
Now for the wildcard. Try to trade into a position to pick french forward Sekou Doumbouya. Like Giannis when he signed with The Bucks this kid is barely 18, he's already 6'9'' and he has eye popping athletism. Sign and stash him in Europe till he's ready. If he spent 2 years growing and maturing in Europe he'd still be just 20 years old to start the 2021 season in Atlanta.
Thoughts ?
