With the Hawks positioned to be one of the few teams with a clear need at center come draft time, Bol Bol could be an intriguing late-lottery value.
It was announced last Thursday that Oregon center Bol Bol—a projected lottery pick—was going to have season-ending surgery on his left foot. While this is unfortunate, Bol did flash some of what makes him a such a tantalizing prospect—especially for the Hawks—in the 9 games he played for Dana Altman at Oregon.
As a result of the oft-criticized Luka Doncic-Trae Young swap on draft night, the Hawks will be keeping an eye on the Mavericks place in the standings all season, as Dallas’ Top-5 protected first round pick was the main sweetener in the deal outside of Young.
