Around The ATL Episode 115

The Golden State Warriors are once again NBA Champions. The NBA season is over. It is now time to decide who the next crop of new talent will be. 

The Atlanta Hawks had a tumultuous season that ended in the worst way possible. Many questions arose regarding the front office, coaching, and the players. 39 losses, little effort on defense, and an ugly 1st round ouster by the Miami Heat. What all needs to happen to improve the team? What all needs to happen to not let a season like Trae Young just had not be wasted? 

The NBA Draft will be the first opportunity to see what direction the team might be going in. Amidst trade rumors that never favor the Hawks, there is an air of doubt hovering over the team. Who will stay, who will go, and who might replace them? Do you really move an established player for an unproven college player and start them? Use the picks to obtain an established player and fill a need? Do you draft and stash, like in previous years?

We have a special guest that will be joining us the night before the NBA Draft. A top high school player, a great college player, had a great career overseas with 3 scoring titles and an MVP, Kobe Bryant said he was "the best player never drafted". Rashad Phillips aka "Yoda" is our guest!!! Owner of Sportstalk2319.com, Rashad has taken his wealth of knowledge about basketball and established himself as a well respected industry expert.
