3. Atlanta Hawks – Jaren Jackson Jr.

Its difficult to gauge what the Atlanta Hawks are going to do at the NBA Draft. They’re a pretty close-knitted group and haven’t exactly tipped their hand yet. They could take anyone from Trae Young to Mo Bamba.

In the end, I have them taking Jaren Jackson Jr., who is reportedly soaring up draft boards. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, teams are lining up at the possibility of trading up to take JJJ.

Could the Hawks move the pick in order to add another asset? Sure, but why pass the opportunity of taking the next great big?
