Brian Geltzeiler of HoopsCritic.com joined John Fricke and Hugh Douglas and spoke about the situation the Hawks find themselves in after the NBA Draft Lottery. Obviously the Hawks would have loved to be in position to make a top 3 selection, but Geltzeiler feels the team is in great position still to greatly improve their team.
"The Hawks did a great job this year. Trae Young is going to be a star in this league. John Collins is a wonderful young player. They are building this whole thing the right way. Lloyd Pierce is the right coach for this team. Everything they're doing is right. What the Hawks have to do right now is stay the course. Travis Schlenk will make the best pick."
He also has changed his original stance on what the Hawks did at the 2018 NBA Draft.
"The trade last year, considering how all of it went down was absolutely outstanding. I didn't love it at the time. I wasn't a Trae Young fan at the time. He's absolutely made me a convert here."
