Atlanta Hawks 2025 Draft Pick Watch

[onechance87]

Alot of the east teams got worst including bucks,pacers and heat.Still early but hope they regain to keep hawks out the playoffs.

[rankingtear]

ATL net after 3 games is still in line with their projected win total.

[Atl Spur]

They look decent but the season is young

[spurraider21]

risacher doesnt really play like a rookie tbh. you can tell he has pro experience. his shot will come around eventually, and when he starts becoming a proficient movement shooter (he's still 19), he's going to be quite the weapon

Euros are supposedly taking over the NBA, but really just comes down to playing professional ball at 15-16 years old while Americans are ing around on AAU teams, new ones every week. Don’t like being coached? Switch to a different team.

i mean... yeah?

i dont think people are claiming euros are just genetically predisposed to be better basketball players or anything like that.

[CGD]

^ yeah, you can see why the spurs wanted Rishacher. Just wasn’t in the cards.

It’s obvious to some,but there’s a big group of fans, and frankly media, who either don’t see it, or refuse to acknowledge it.

yeah he just looks like the perfect long term 3 for this team. not exceptional at any one thing yet (think his shooting will wind up being great), but helps a team in just about every way. timely cutting, reasonable driving/finishing, competing on defense. just knows how to fit in and find ways to be productive. i had him at #1 as well

with that said, hard to be disappointed with Castle's early returns

[MultiTroll]

one.

Is this pick protected?

[RC_Drunkford]

Castle gon be a better player than Risacher

[exstatic]

Castle gon be a better player than Risacher

He’s also going to be better than Scoot, Amen, and Ausar, three players picked in the top 5 of a supposed better draft.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah, I won't compare Risacher to Castle.

I'm glad Risacher looks good, obviously well prepared to shift in the NBA and looks fluid and capable. I have severe doubts about his shooting and, just call my shot, I don't know if he'll ever be much better than what Julian Champagnie is doing for us right now. And JC makes like $2 million a year.

Well there is one person, ex, who claimed that all Slovenians were born with god given shooting talent, or some like that.

serbians not slovenians. i dont remember for sure if it was ex or not, may have been. it was about the assurance that Topic's 3 point shot will come around because if you pull some old serbian man off the street he will be a good shooter

funny

Turns out it was actually RC_Drunkford. My sincerest apologies to exstatic.

I wouldn't be concerned about Topic's shooting tbh. He's Serbian and if you know anything about Serbian basketball or played against Serbs than you should know that you could grab any old man off the street and he'll most likely be a 3-point sniper. Shooting is in their DNA, there's no way he doesn't get to the point where he's efficient from 3.

No, my thing isn’t automatic shooting improvement because of nationality, but automatic improvement because of FT %, and Topic was high 80s, IIRC.

It's not the talent per se, it's the main area of focus in their training/playground skills. Go to the balkans and play and you'll find out. There's a reason Shaq always says anybody with "ic" in their name can shoot.

Hawks drop their 1st of two against the Wizard tonight

[Mitch Cumsteen]

I know it was the second night of a back to back, but Atlanta has no business losing at home to the Wiz.

I stand by my original post -- the Hawks are a crap team. It doesn't matter how many other teams in the east are tanking, they suck just as bad. I will be stunned if the pick doesn't convey at a decent spot in the lottery.

[TXstbobcat]

Tre Young had a crap night shooting 2-15

[Chinook]

Anyone else keep finding themselves checking Raptors box scores and having to tell themselves it doesn't matter anymore?

[BackHome]

Lol. �� i am glad I am not the only one doing that.

lol I thought it was just me.

100% me.

I'm on to doing it with Chicago now. Atlanta is obviously interested but what will be, will be, the Spurs are getting the pick no matter what. The Chicago pick would be such a nice little bonus.

They are very very thin but with a lucky season of health I do think they are likely to finish somewhere in the 7-12 range, so you never know.
