Atlanta Hawks GM Travis Schlenk joined John and Hugh for the first time since the NBA Draft Lottery and was quite honest about how the ping pong balls fell for the Hawks.
"The most likely outcome was we'd get 7, so we prepared ourselves. It was a little disappointing, but we're excited with it and feel like we'll get a good player there."

May 15, 2019 Travis Schlenk also discussed how they feel this draft is deeper than last season and that they can grab a pair of really good players.
"We'll see how it plays out. There's some big names in free agency and we'll see what interest level those players have. We put ourselves in position with cap flexibility to be players, so we'll run out those ground balls and see if there is interest."
