Atlanta Hawks: Ranking the Top 8 Lottery Picks By Best Fit
By Chris Guest
Michael Porter Jr. – Missouri
We have already discussed the risks associated with Michael Porter Jr., as he just does not look like the top-flight prospect that almost every pundit and draftnik predict he is.
He suffered a debilitating injury that sapped much of his athleticism and explosion and upon returning to the court, he looked to be a shell of himself.
However, the injury is not the only concern with Porter Jr., his lack of passing vision and somewhat selfish playstyle is not conducive to the modern game, or what made the Hawks so great in the 2014-15 season – ball movement, off-ball movement and unselfish play.
The Hawks should not be dazzled by Porter’s pedigree and instead should draft anyone else ahead of him.
