NBA Draft/Trades/Free Agency

[SB75]

12. Atlanta Hawks (from Utah Jazz)

Skal Labissiere, C, Kentucky
Chris Vivlamore from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Why Labissiere? “The forward/center would help the Hawks defensively with his athleticism and shot-blocking. He has the skills to play the 4/5 combo in Hawks’ offense as well.”


I would like this very much!

I think we will try to package the picks to hopefully move up.

Hopefully we don't trade them for a vet. We need some potential on this roster.

If there is a move to get into the top 6, I'm down. Chris or Brown would fit in well here! However if it's not and Skai there, I'd take the risk. Yes he sucked at KY!.... But most mocks still have him as a top 15 pick and think the upside is still there.

Skai at 12 and Richardson are two huge risk, however both have superstar potential.

I just do NOT want us to resign Horford. We need to move on. Rebuild. I would love to trade our 2 1st rounders to move up in the draft. Sign and trade Al for someone young with a lot of potential...

To be honest...... Al has been a much better player than I thought he would be when we drafted him. He's a 4 time All-star and good in the locker Room But just like Jj and Josh before him the superstar help never came during his tenure.

However..... Baring LBJ or KD coming in this years FA or Steph, Blake, or Russel coming in next years, we have missed our window with Al. Paying Al max money while not having a superstar to get to the next level is not responsible spending.

One problem! I noted this when he was given the power..... What head coach is really willing to loose and be lottery bound for two years?

Sounds like we want to trade up for Buddy Hield.

I don't hate it, but I sure as hell don't love it either!

Why don't you like Hield? I'm opened in the Hawks moving up for him...

I don't think he's a point and he'd be an undersized, bad defensive 2. I do think he'd be good offensively. So again I don't hate it, I personally wouldn't do it.

[*Silver&Black*]

I would love to have Hield in the offense.

Personally, I would even throw in Millsap if we can reach #3.

I just don't want to see us trade both picks away for cap room.

Wtf

You don't take him at 12! This is why you don't give the coach all the power!

Meh. It's a crapshoot in this range anyways. Don't really follow college basketball, so don't really know anything about him.
