Now, let’s explore the teams to keep an eye on for Atlanta Hawks fans.

Duke

A relative no-brainer, the Duke Blue Devils have pretty much been can’t miss entertainment for the entire college basketball season due to the presence of four likely top 20 picks in the 2019 Draft. The most notable, of course, is the incredible Zion Williamson, who is easily the best prospect since Anthony Davis. While it seems blasphemous, Zion’s astonishing range of skills might rival only LeBron James in recent memory. If you’re a fan of the Atlanta Hawks, just watch Duke whenever you can.

Gonzaga

An absolute juggernaut that shredded its way through the West Coast Conference, Gonzaga boasts two notable prospects to keep an eye on: Brandon Clarke and Rui Hachimura. While Hachimura came into the season with heaps of hype, Clarke has risen above Rui if you ask many draftniks. Either way, the Zags are high atop the list of best teams to watch for Hawks fans.

Texas Tech

Another likely top pick in the 2019 Draft is Jarrett Culver. Though his stock has risen recently, he might fall to the Hawks if the draft shakes out right. If he does, that would be great news, as Culver is an athletic maven with immense size (possibly still growing) who can dominate on defense and create his own shot.
