Trae Young's slow build to success

IF EVERYTHING WERE to come up perfect for the Atlanta Hawks on May 14, the NBA's draft lottery, they could have the following:

  • One of the top two picks of the draft so they could add Zion Williamson or Ja Morant to their team.

  • As high as the No. 6 pick in the draft, thanks to a trade with the Dallas Mavericks.

  • Five picks in the top 42 of the draft.

  • Maximum salary-cap space.

  • A compelling case to make to top free agents such as Kevin Durant.
