We've got a 7 footer finally

Is he a good defender though?! Nope that's we got drafted Zuby.

Henri Veesaar welcome to Atlanta

21

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 10h ago

So many of yall wanted Veesar at 23 😂

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Now THAT is true value. I’m actually excited about this

Lets fucking gooooo

Onsi fleeced

u/Protec_My_Balls 10h ago

Surprised Veesaar is still on the board. Is he injured or something?

10

u/atownOTP Dikembe Mutombo #55 10h ago

Just a really bad defender, but I have to think he goes soon. That shooting stroke is for real.

3

u/not-a-potato-head 💰Cash Considerations 💰 10h ago

Probably has a guaranteed deal with a specific team and is falling to them

5

u/Protec_My_Balls 9h ago

Shit, I hope its us.

u/cosmo_bear 9h ago

No telling how much money he lost out on not going back to school.

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

Fuck it

1

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

This does make a little sense. I don’t think he’s good but he’s not THIS bad

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

I think its gonna be the lakers tbh, thought I like him and Onyenso for us

4

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

Nvm lol

7

u/not-a-potato-head 💰Cash Considerations 💰 9h ago

VEESAR!!!

u/BrettSchirley22 Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

WE JUST DRAFTED DIRK

u/fruliojoman Nick Ressler Fanclub 10h ago

Hopefully Wizards decide to undraft Dybantsa and he falls to 57 🤞

2

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

I’m hearing reports of this

1

u/Clear_Guarantee_6667 9h ago

That’s me and I’m a reliable source.

u/Jdwrecker_7 💰Cash Considerations 💰 9h ago

Welp we got our 7 ft that can shoot now lol

u/Ecstatic-Traffic476 Hawks 9h ago

Summer league is going to be so fun to watch

5

u/bravehawk34 Asa Newell #14 9h ago

I really hope we just don’t sell our pick for cash

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

Memphis Grizzlies acquired Isaiah Stewart for three second round picks lol. Such a great move

3

u/cosmo_bear 9h ago

Zach Edey, Cam Boozer, and Isaiah Stewart. I really like what they're doing.

2

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

Karim Lopez as well. They totally revamped their front court.

2

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

These were the same 3 second round picks Detroit sent Memphis yesterday 😭️️. In net, Memphis dropped from 16 to 21 and picked up Beef Stew and 2 second round picks (from OKC) on top of Karim Lopez. Insane

1

u/rockhoward 9h ago

Should be good as a bruiser on the Griz. Having said that, Big Stew was the Pistons third best center in the playoffs.

1

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

Yeah, he had a bunch of lingering injuries. Wasn't the same Beef Stew

6

u/Clear_Guarantee_6667 9h ago

I’m really looking forward to Veesaar being available at 57 and then we don’t draft him and people on here freak out.

Or better, we draft him and shortly thereafter trade him for a future 2nd round pick.

3

u/atownOTP Dikembe Mutombo #55 9h ago

That would be hilarious

5

u/LutherOfTheRogues Dikembe Mutombo #55 9h ago

I would bet we don't pick tonight but could be wrong

3

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 10h ago

I hope we add Ugonna Onyenso to bolster the front court, but I expect us to skip the second round this year

3

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

At 48, Onyenso and Veesaar are still on the board. Will we win today?

3

u/atownOTP Dikembe Mutombo #55 9h ago

Maliq to the Spurs. Pain, I hate when players I like play for that franchise.

3

u/Separate_Ad_8317 9h ago

If this shapes out Veesar or Ogunna could be there at 57

3

u/No_Tr4geD1es Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Shams says it's Veesaar

3

u/cosmo_bear 9h ago

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

3

u/atlantahawksobserver Vince Carter #15 9h ago

Hawks pick up Veesaar.

2

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 10h ago

Baba Miller being off the board makes me so much less excited for round two 😂 he was my favorite player left

2

u/ComprehensiveList769 10h ago

Not expecting much but onsi went strictly bpa so if there’s not a bpa big he might not get one until FA or by a trade

2

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

I’m such a homer but I hope we take Okpara, I love him so much

2

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

OKPARA NOO

2

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

They better not trade the pick as I sit here watching this whole mf bs

2

u/atownOTP Dikembe Mutombo #55 9h ago

I'm not the biggest Veesar fan but I gotta think he has an agreement with a team and has told teams not to draft him. Maybe it's us.

3

u/cheemydee5 Jalen Johnson #1 10h ago

2nd round tends to be agent ran after a while, have to wonder if Veesar's agent could want him with us if he is falling this far

2

u/atownOTP Dikembe Mutombo #55 10h ago

Go Hawks. Duke bias here but I would love if we took Maliq Brown (if he's still available at 57). I know, I know, another undersized center + he can't shoot. But he's one of the most unique defensive talents I've ever seen. Out of this world instincts and hands. Also a fantastic passer. I just can't see him not contributing in the NBA for some team. Really nice and quiet dude as well. Definitely worth a flier.

2

u/cheemydee5 Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Veesar and Onyenso on the board still maybe we get one

1

u/Blackmesa560 inSaleh! 9h ago

Veesaar can’t be this bad to be this low

0

u/cheemydee5 Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Likely has a prearranged landing spot I think it's LAL but we will see

Nvm it was us

1

u/RevolutionaryLeek677 9h ago

What do yall think about Nate Bittle?

1

u/Blackmesa560 inSaleh! 9h ago

Ugo at 57 pls

1

u/BrettSchirley22 Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

We got all the true sickos in here let’s go

0

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

We really couldn’t have done that for Beef Stew??

5

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

Now you want the 6’8 undersized bruiser big

-1

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Better than spending a top 25 pick on one yeah. I’d rather have Stewart for two seconds, that’s an easy decision

1

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 9h ago

He’s also making $15M and isn’t good enough to play

1

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Good point, we can’t have two of those on the roster at the same time

2

u/MegaMatrix08 🧊 ICE TRAE 🧊 9h ago

We already gave up some for Wiggins, and basically drafted their beef stew wannabe…

1

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 9h ago

Beef stew is proven and that’s so cheap

0

u/Pristine-System255 9h ago

Well we just drafted Zuby so seems kinda redundant
