Local reporters seem to believe it’s De’Andre Hunter at 5, which would be fine, but not ideal

At this point, it seems that the top three of the 2019 NBA Draft, even with recently reported workouts for Vanderbilt point guard Darius Garland and North Carolina combo guard Coby White related to the New York Knicks (who select third overall), is pretty set of Duke big Zion Williamson going to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Memphis Grizzlies taking Murray State point guard Ja Morant and the Knicks ultimately taking Duke wing RJ Barrett.

Of course, as we’ve noted here at KJG based on reported interest from teams such as the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls, the New Orleans Pelicans could possibly deal their fourth pick in a trade-down scenario, and that could mean the Hawks select Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter, a wing player that projects as a solid “three-and-D” player in the NBA.
