Josh Giddey (Adelaide 36ers, PG/SG, 2002)
Role: Backup point guard
In need of a facilitator for the second unit, the Atlanta Hawks should be paying close attention to Giddey in Australia. At 6'8", he’s the NBL’s assist leader at 18 years old, having success with his positional height and signature passing IQ.
Role: Reserve energizer
Atlanta could add forward depth with Jones, a high-motor rim runner and athletic finisher. Flashes of shooting, fluid driving and defensive mobility create theoretical upside that some teams may deem is worth gambling on in the lottery.
Jared Butler (Baylor, PG/SG, Junior)
Role: Combo guard
