    If we trade up it has to be Hunter or Culver to be worth it.

    Gwinnett. If we trade out, whether up or for a current NBA player it would need to be Hunter or Culver if it's somebody in this draft. The trade possibilities for NBA players are also interesting.

    WC. I don’t think that Jackson has done anything to lead one to believe he could be one of the best finishers in the NBA. Plus, he’s just been accused of getting his 4 month old daughter high.

    I would love if the hawks took Claxton at 17. Not even really a reach, and he has the potential to be the perfect 5 in today’s game. 6’11 and extremely athletic with decent shooting touch.

    Wish list for 8 and 10 is Reddish and Bol Bol. I doubt Reddish will still be available at 8, though. Honestly picking at 8 and 10 and grabbing a couple high upside guys sounds a lot better than trading both for the 4 slot. This class has a definite big 3 so the number 4 slot isn't as desirable as it would be in many other years, I'll take a flyer on 2 guys rather than the 1 if I'm the GM.

    @WCDawg there is a 0% chance the Celtics move brown. Especially not at that value.

    I had no idea about the accusation against Jackson, if it appears to be true it would be a deal killer. As far as being a finisher, that is obvious. He is 22 years old and has played on a dysfunctional offense both years in Phoenix. He has elite mobility, elevation and lateral movement he would be elite with Trae breaking down defenses and dishing. Still, if he's doing bad things, we don't need him. I don't keep up with the off-court stuff, I rarely watch Sports Center.

    Mantis, very interesting. Vitale is all about college basketball, I doubt he'd tweet something he didn't have solid info on. So assuming we now have the 4th pick, what do we do with it ?

    I'm thinking we in all likelihood take either Culver or Hunter, either would be a great fit and fill a need.

    WC. I like Hunter more as a prospect, but I’d be fine with either.

    I won’t get my hopes up until it’s confirmed by Woj or Sham. Also, it’s interesting that he only mentioned the 10th pick. Could mean it was a 3 tram trade if it turns out to be accurate.

    What time is the draft? And if the Hawks move up to 5 who do they target?
  • WCDawgWCDawg ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    The draft kicks off at 7pm.

    I think if we move to 5 and take a player in this draft with the pick it will be either Hunter or Culver.

    They just moved up to 4... I’m sensing culver. He’s my 3rd favorite player in the draft and his length and shooting will fit perfectly with young and Collins

    According to woj it’s for hunter
