Atlanta Hawks draft
The Atlanta Hawks had another good year. They keep taking steps closer to the Eastern finals. To do so this year, they will have to deal with a lot of free agents. Mike Bibby is the only starter that is a free agent and a very big key to this team. Ronald Murray and Zach Pachulia were two key players off the bench that are also free agents. Marvin Williams is a restricted free agent and will probably get a pretty good offer that Atlanta can match. To keep things moving in the right direction, the Hawks have got to resign Bibby and not let Williams go either. I don't think they will be able to keep all 4 players. That's where we look at the draft. Atlanta has the 19th and 49th picks. The 19th pick could suit Atlanta well in the fact that in the past 14 years 9 bench players and 1 starter has come from that spot. So, they should get someone off the bench. The 49th pick has produced 3 bench players. So, there is a shot there. Today is a big day for many teams. Atlanta's big day is still to come.
