WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #24 Atlanta Hawks

 
Our primary ballhandler is likely to leave as a free agent, and our starting PG is now a role player whose career is clearly in the gloaming.

But if the draft hasn't treated us kindly in the past, here is a situation that we see as a step toward redemption.

The PG crop in this draft ranges from "a few" to "none", but a guy we think has a shot to be a special PG has actually fallen to pick #24. The only thing more incredible than that is if we ignored it and picked someone else, and that's just not the way the Hawks do things.

Atlanta selects Eric Bledsoe.  We like his excellent shooting ability and his potential as a pure PG and feel we have the system in place where he can contribute now as a scorer while he works on his game.  He's the second best PG on his team but also the second best on our draft board.  We think he's a steal.


We got Kentucky's PG! There he is!
