NBA Draft Lottery: Ranking the 5 best possible results

3. The Hawks climb to the top

What the Atlanta Hawks have built over the last two years warrants attention. Slowly, the Hawks have one of the best young duos in the Eastern Conference in Trae Young and John Collins. Young, who will likely finish second in this year’s NBA Rookie of the Year race, averaged 19 points, eight assists and four rebounds on 42 percent from the field.

Collins, in his second season, averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds on 56 percent shooting from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range. He’s probably the best young player that no one really knows about.

Adding Zion Williamson to that mixture, and he could escalate this team’s rebuild. They’d be in the mix for a playoff spot, at least, and would no question be one of the best watches in all the league. Even if it is just for a fun factor, Zion on the Hawks would be extremely interesting.
