After a series of excellent games from rookie Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks might be faced with an interesting question in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Should the team focus on drafting the best player available, or aim for filling a specific team need?
The answer to that question is multi-faceted. The most obvious thinking on this subject is simply take the best player available – no questions asked. However, if the Atlanta Hawks truly want to accelerate the team’s rebuild to the point that the goal is making the playoffs, then drafting for positional need might make the most sense.
