Atlanta Hawks: 4 trade candidates to target with the No. 6 overall draft pick

DeMar DeRozan

For what the Atlanta Hawks could be looking for on the open market, DeMar DeRozan could be an interesting option. I am not sure what the San Antonio Spurs would be looking for in a potential trade, but if the Hawks are willing to go all-in on the thought of adding another scoring option next to Trae Young and John Collins, there might not be a better option on the open market.

With that said, I still have my doubts about how DeRozan would fit on this team. He isn’t a great 3-point shooter and even though he has grown as a playmaker over the last few years of his career, he’d have to play off-ball a lot with Young and I’m not sure how effective he’d be.

His potential concerning fit on offense coupled with the fact that he leaves much to be desired on the defensive end makes me question how this would work even more. While the idea of adding a piece such as DeMar DeRozan would make some sense theoretically, I have my doubts about the big-picture fit.
