Atlanta Hawks

Taurean Prince, F (12) *via Utah, DeAndre Bembry, SF (21), Isaia Cordinier, SG (44)

Taurean Prince isn’t a bad player, he’s a solid 3-and-D role player, but there were definitely better players on the board this early in the draft. DeAndre Bembry is a solid addition to rotation as well, but again, a reach.

Overall an underwhelming draft out of the Hawks who are content with being forever a regular season team, without being a huge playoff threat.

Draft Grade: C

Next: Boston Celtics
