Atlanta Hawks

Diamond Stone is a confident guy that plays with a ferociousness that you just don’t come across that often.  He’s 6’10” but he sure plays like a 7 footer, using his 7’3.5″ wingspan to catch anything thrown his way in the paint and tear down tough rebounds in traffic.  The problem is, he has a bit of an attitude, and there’s even games were it just seems like he’s not trying.

The Hawks are likely on the verge of a rebuild, and if that means losing Horford, they’re going to look for the big man that has the best chance at someday being a great player in the league.  At this area of the draft, that guy is Diamond Stone.
