As we continue to look at the 2020 NBA Draft class to find potential fits with the Atlanta Hawks, one thing stood out: a lack of true centers. After James Wiseman, a likely top-three pick, there are very little centers in the class.
There are a lot of power forwards who could probably play some center like Onyeka Oknogwu, Isaiah Stewart, and Jalen Smith, but in terms of true fives, it’s Wiseman or bust for lottery teams.
In some mocks, the Memphis big man is the only center taken in the first round. In my latest mock draft, Wiseman went fifth, and only one other center went in the first, with Daniel Oturu coming off the board at number 28.
