From #Set to Shyt: Welcome to Tankonia [2017-18 Atlanta Hawks Season Thread]

[staticshock]

i think we should draft Luka Doncic, none of these other players sound good enough to me, I got real question marks about real tall real thin guys developing into anything long term, but I guess you got to stockpile

and i have questions about a below average athletic European teenager

What y'all think about Jaren Jackson? I rarely see anyone bring his name up on here yet on a few mock drafts he's top 3-top 5

Marvin Gaye Williams ceiling. Hes that prospect that's overvalued every season and some stupid team takes him. Looks dumb and realized they fukked up drafting him way too high. Ends up crying about it realizing they fukked up

I have questions about all of them as they are all just 19. I had questions about LeBron at that age too. That said. I like Doncic, Bagley, Ayton, Bamba and Porter Jr. For the top 5

I expect a few years of growing pains out of him

Breh watch him first. Dude is a beast. No European has put up numbers like him especially at 19

You got to realize, not everyone is going to think a white boy without great athleticism and isn't 7'2 is going to be an excellent Basketball player. It's rare when it happens.

I think he’s gonna give a team at least 16/5/5. Problem is, I think he’s gonna give a team at most 19/6/5. I’d rather take my chances with the potential 20/10 guys or possible 25+ ppg guys who can be superstars because at least if they fail then we’ll still be bad enough to try again and not get stuck back in this past decade of Hawks basketball

Hes a natural scorer. Uses his body extremely well like Manu and Harden, good handles, not great, good shooter, not great. He reminds me of Harden as a prospect. That's not really a top 3 grade in this class. He will need some serious skill development to become a star. I hear his immaturity is similar to Dennis but hes white so the media overlooks it. Just imagine them two goofball together? Overall, I have an potential all star grade on him. A clear tier below Ayton, Bagley and Bamba potentially.

I only wanna imagine Schroeder bytchass face down in a ditch

But yeah, that sounds about right. I'd take those 3 or Porter over him.

4th pick didn't tank hard enough

4th pick didn't tank hard enough

We getting one of Ayton, Bagley, Porter, Bamba, or Doncic. Top 4 all got 2nd team All-NBA ceilings despite the different styles. We pick Doncic and we see what woulda been if the Spurs built around Manu Ginobli

Absolute worse case, we end up with one of the Bridges, Trae Young, Sexton, or Robert Williams. I’m more worried about who we can grab with the Wolves and pick. We get another Collins-like slip from one of these lottery picks and we’ll be looking real good. I have faith that we’ll get at least one contributor from our last 2 picks too....
