I'd try to assess what team appears to be most persuaded that one of these guys is overwhelmingly pivotal to their immediate future hopes, and if they won't make a deal ahead of the draft, yes, draft their guy anyway. You're not going to be especially better or worse, imo... and maybe during the draft their GM feels nervous enough to call you back, and deliver a goody bag of something exciting. Maybe that's Washington, but I'd think it's more probably a team that considers itself at Everest Camp III or IV. Ah, you just said what I said but with more words. I agree with the premise tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As frustrating as it is for fans, it at least make us feel like there's a competent front office at work here. Some of the best FO work in completely secrecy and you only hear about things just as they're happening. Being a lifelong Braves fan, I've been blessed so watch some of the best ever do it. I could be overselling their actual abilities and maybe they have no clue what they're doing, but the eternal optimist in me is holding out hope that the master plan will be a stroke of genius...or at least competency. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lot more projectable. He's an off ball player. I thinknwe agree overall on the draft, just disagree with how to approach it. I can't justify taking a wing like Rissacher because I feel his protected ceiling is too low. Best caae scenario, for me, he's a backup on a good team.

They are in talks with a lot of teams. They can go in so many directions. A lot of possible. The biggest issue is, maybe Atlanta price Tag is too high for some teams but there are teams who are interested. I will say Sarr chances of being a Hawk is as high as I've seen this process since the day we won the lottery. That said, a lot can happen between today and tomorrow. Also, Washington and Atlanta seem to be getting closer to a swap. Washington did a swap last year from one spot and likely to do it this year as well. Rumor has it, it will cost them 26 for swap. So I am not Sure Atlanta will even have the pick. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BangHolman Posted June 25 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 25 How big is the gap between Zacc and Matas? Seems like an ideal scenario would be Clingan (4) and Matas (8) if the board fell the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know too many two prong movement wings with pretty good defense to boot. That's extremely hard to find and everyone can use that player, especially us.

Talent wise, Matas is better but ability wise and role wise, Risacher is miles better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lot more projectable. He's an off ball player. I’m warming up to Risacher in the past 24 hours. I do think there’s a good fit there next to Trae. Have to assume his defense is real, just need the shooting to be which there have been flashes. If both can translate it’s a good fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NBASupes Posted June 25 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25 Be on the lookout for Kobe Bufkin. Teams that had lotto picks last year have called Atlanta about him and some of those teams even have equally young players in different positions which are appealing to Atlanta. He could be on the move. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post txsting Posted June 25 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25 I will try not to be too disappointed with whatever goes down, because the truth won't be known for several years. More fun to talk yourself into belief than to smother yourself in doubt. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted June 25 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 25 This isn't the draft to fall in love with potential, especially superstar potential. I'd prefer a trade back and two chances are a solid rotation player, but if we stay at 1, I trust that Risacher can develop into a high end role player more than I trust Clingan developing into much more than he is today or Sarr developing anywhere close to the superstar ceiling some seem to think he has. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
