Sarr's my No. 1 but I really don't get the Clingan dislike. Would be ok if we came away with him. 

I don’t hate Clingan but my reservations include:

1) He can’t shoot.  (See his ft%) which hurts spacing as we’ve seen with CC.

2) His stamina.  He played short minutes despite having a dominating physical edge in college.

3) His defensive versatility.  Is he drop coverage or nothing?  That isn’t a great limitation if so.

4) Touch around the basket.  Despite his physical advantage over college big men, he rarely asserted himself offensively.

There are some things I like such as his shot blocking and passing potential and his playing in a system that likely resembles how Quin would use him.  If we take him, I hope he diversified his skills.

Ingram is a mid-range maven and a ball stopper.

I don't dislike him.

Just prefer not to have him be the pick.

@AHF summed up my concerns

If Sarr is the guy they want , then I hope they get the guy the want.

I’ll support whomever they take as usual. I’m a prisoner for life with the Hawks. Forever ATL!

Basically.  Because apparently if you're not sniping at or tearing down the team, it means you're a fake fan I guess?

I'm not a fkng GM and I don't need to try and prove to everyone what I know about basketball, team-building, and all that.  I just come here to enjoy the good things about the team I root for.

Has it all been perfect all these decades?  Of course not.  But is there an actual need to come here to nitpick and complain?  That's fun?

Whatever.  More power to folks that go out of their way to get the negativity outta life.

As I've said before, only 1 team wins the title every year.  Everyone else has something to complain about.  Just because someone chooses not to dwell on those things doesn't mean they aren't well aware of them.

I’m coming around to him. Seems like he’s a good perimeter defender and can play off ball catching/shooting threes. Good fit with and JJ.

Still prefer Sarr tho.

If it's Risacher.. It must be for good reason so I'll support it. I hope he gets thrown into the fire so we can test his talent early on.

If I didn't quit this team February 24th, 1994 when the Human Highlight  Film was traded and I had tickets to my first ever Hawks game to see him and instead spent the entire game on February 25th vs the Bucks scowling at the back of Danny Manning's long head - meh!

I have always loved Mykal but FIVE??? 

You best get a title or you're f***ed.

Looks like we might see new pick trading rules sooner than later.

Sidery strikes again. Woj actually said that while Risacher is prominent in their discussions, they have not landed on who they will take yet.
