Atlanta Hawks 2025 Draft Pick Watch

[onechance87]

wtf man

[Ditty]

Annoying loss but damn a short handed Kings team barely lost to a fully healthy now Hawks team.

Don't think the Hawks are good at all especially defensively outside of Daniels.

I think the Bucks are going to start creeping up in the standings that the Hawks will drop back into the lottery.

[TrainOfThought5]

is crazy....Got bucks 76ers,pacers and knicks looking like trash.

patience. The season will revert to the mean.

ATL has Dyson James so it’s hard to count them out. He beat Boston on his own

The prophecy was fulfilled. Dyson Daniels is the best player in the nba.

Even if Trae has a season ending injury, ATL won't be bottom 10

Spurs can only count on themselves to get a lottery pick... hence Wemby out for a boo boo?

Nets will trade away guys and start tanking. Bucks have a soft schedule coming up. And Philly is going to have to go all out the rest of the season. It’s still possible this time might be Atlanta’s best position this season.

When will Trae get season ending injury?

Trae got 19ast but went only 1/7 shooting and they won... without Jalen Johnson who's on his way to be a triple dble machine. They're a very decent team in a super weak East that lost a few close games and could be ranked even higher.

I'm not saying hey'll stay 5th, but they'll never be a bottom of the league team, they have no incentive to tank and will try to win until the 82nd game when a lot will try to lose.

Expecting a lottery pick out of ATL is delusional at this point UNLESS Trae and/or JJ have a long term injury (not wishing them)

I expected the Hawks to be a play-in team prior to the season. Not much has changed close to 15 games in tbh.

I still expect them to land in the 7-10 range. Anybody that expected them to convey a 1-7 pick in the '25 draft was kidding themselves.

i didnt expect the bucks,knicks,76ers,pacers,and heat to be this bad.

[quentin_compson]

I just read in an article on The Ringer that right now, the 11th seed in the West projects to have at least as many wins at the end of the season as the 5th seed in the East. Crazy stuff ...

Where they finish isn’t where they draft,necessarily. If they’re at the high end of your range at 7, they have about a 32% chance of jumping into the top 4.

Not that I had "expectations" of anything particular, but given how the NBA lottery works, and especially since the flattened odds change, this is a weird take. Like pre-coping.

The Hawks are still perfectly capable of producing a top-10 lotto pick this year. Didn't they make an insane lotto jump just last year? It's all about the ping pong balls there, and far stranger things have happened.

It's a long season...

There is almost zero chance the hawks will be a top 6 team in the east. They don’t need to be a bottom 5 team, just a bottom 7 team in the east, which I think is more likely than not. The spurs are very likely going to have two shots in this year’s lottery. We’ll see what that yields, but it’s a good position to be in.

They played a Kings team taht was without 3 of its top 4 players. Atlanta sucks, but they played a Kings team that would be just as bad as them and the Kings STILL had to be screwed pretty hard by the refs late in the game for the Hawks to win.

People here always overstate things based on a game or two. The Hawks have absolute talent right now. Even in the easy they will be lucky to be a play in team.

It's not a game or 2, every time I watched them, they're in the game and have 2 reliable difference makers. They'll also face more weaker opponents than West teams and will stack wins in the last months

I want to be wrong, we'll see

This is a good reminder why shouldn't rely on another team's picks as a core team building strategy. I don't think the Spurs have (and I think by now it's well known I am not a fan of this FO), but some folks on this site (maybe even me) were putting too much hope in these Atlanta picks. They're all bonus, and we should be counting on them to yield our second star.

you mean the extra picks that got us Branham and Wesley haven't been useful?

I think Atlanta is squeaking past teams resting dudes, and that won’t happen after the new year. They’ll get pounded pretty regularly, and revert to the mean. As things stand now,they shouldn’t finish any worse than 8th, and if MIL and PHI get their together, they won’t finish any worse than 6-7.

The last 2 championship teams and the 2 most promising young teams got their second banana from another teams pick. Seems like a good strategy.

unless they pull off lottery luck like last year. I agree they will be in the 7-10 range
