15 Non-Lottery Draft Pick Options for Atlanta Hawks

Tony Carr

Tony Carr had a breakout year for the Penn State Nittany Lions in 2017-18, and he ended up finishing 2^nd in made field goals in the Big Ten with 245, 1^st in attempted field goals with an immense 600 and 1^st in points with 725.

Carr is what you would call a throwback player, a ball-dominant two guard who is looking to get his own shot first and pass to someone else as a second option. Volume scoring was the name of the game for Carr in 17-18, as his true shooting percentage of 50.2 does not scream “efficient.”

But still, the Hawks are in no position to quibble, and Carr’s singular talents could suit a team that lacked someone who was willing to shoot with no conscience, as Dennis Schröder was more reliant on drives to score, which are much easier to defend than a jump shot. If the Hawks wanted to take a chance on a volume scorer in the second round, which is where Carr is expected to be selected, it would make sense.
