30. Atlanta Hawks – Jacob Evans, F, Cincinnati

Jacob Evans might be the perfect frontcourt player in today’s ever-evolving NBA. At 6-foot-6, he could be a versatile player that could be used all over the court. He could even shoot the 3-ball with the necessary consistency to make him dangerous from the outside.

Evans is the type of player that won’t change any franchise, but could give them options. And that’s certainly something that the Hawks need.
