No. 20 Atlanta Hawks- Bam Adebayo (Kentucky, FR, Center)

There’s no question that Bam Adebayo will be a project, but he is explosiveness and has great speed for his size. He has the type of potential that would be too good to pass up at this point in the NBA Draft.

At 6-foot-10 and 260 lbs, Bam’s rebounding numbers could be better (Only 7.1 RPG), but he has the potential to be a good rim protector.

Learning from someone like Dwight Howard could help greatly as the Hawks hope to breed their big man of the future.
