In case you have not heard, the Atlanta Hawks won the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday, despite having just a 3% chance of winning the top pick. It was the firs
t time in franchise history that Atlanta was able to win the lottery and frankly, it was the only time that Atlanta has had any luck in the lottery.about what they would do with the pick began. Would the Hawks stay at No. 1 and take the best player on their board or would they trade the pick and try to get more veteran help to put around one of their guards? The No.
Alex Sarr defensive tape from his three game playoff run with the Perth Wildcats. Effects the game on that end in a multitude of ways:If they do take Sarr, I do think that would expedite Clint Capela's exit from the Hawks, as I think Sarr is going to play center in the league . Atlanta would have a logjam at the position and if you take Sarr at No. 1, he needs to be playing plenty of minutes right away, not coming off of the bench.
It is not just the fit of Okongwu and Sarr that would be the question though. Jalen Johnson showed huge leaps on offense this past season, including improvement in shooting the three. Johnson shot 28.8% on three's in 2022-2023, but improved that to 35.5% this season, going 71-200. Could there be another leap in his future? It would help in the event that Atlanta decided that they wanted to take Sarr and not trade away Okongwu.
The aspect of this fit that I have not mentioned yet is Trae Young, who is one of the best offensive players and shot-creators in the NBA. Assuming that the Hawks choose to keep him, Young makes life easier for every player on the court and that would help ease Sarr's transition on offense. He has never gotten the luxury of playing with a point guard of that caliber and he would get a lot of great looks on the floor.
