Atlanta Hawks: 4 trade candidates to target with the No. 6 overall draft pick
Buddy Hield
Another potential option that the Atlanta Hawks could target by offering up the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft happens to be Buddy Hield of the Sacramento Kings. Coming off somewhat of a disappointing season with the Kings, in which he lost his starting spot, Hield could emerge as a trade target for many teams in search of scoring and shooting.
Hield could join Trae Young to create one of the best shooting backcourts in the Eastern Conference. In a “disappointing” season, Hield still managed to average 19 points, five rebounds, and three assists on 43 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent shooting from 3-point range.

You can make the case that Hield has proven that he can’t be a No. 1 option in today’s NBA and that’s OK. He wouldn’t be asked to be that for the Hawks and could play off both Trae Young and John Collins on the offensive end. If you have questions about this duo’s defensive capabilities, that’s perfectly fine. But there’s no question that they’d be explosive on the offensive end.
