2018 Draft: 5 Possible Top-5 Picks for the Atlanta Hawks
By Chris Guest
Luka Doncic
We have already discussed the supreme talent that is Luka Dončić out of Real Madrid and provided reasons why he would be a terrific number one overall pick for the Hawks to make.
Though Dončić provides real size with a 6’8”, 218-lb frame, he also projects to be a unicorn with his combination of speed, ballhandling, size and shooting/scoring ability.
Dončić would immediately make the Hawks’ offense better on almost every front, and pairing him with John Collins would make for a lethal pick-and-roll combination.
For the most part, draft boards on every outlet claim Dončić to be the clear-cut best player available. If the Hawks fall too far (as in they win too many games), there’s a chance that Dončić might be long gone. If not, his unique skill set and tantalizingly vast upside would make him a shoo-in for Atlanta’s first pick.
