The Hawks are on the clock at No. 19*.

*counting is hard
Miss Cleo
8:30
I see Hawks on the clock, how are you seeing the Jazz?
Austin Kent
8:31
I accidentally travelled through space and time. Back now.
8:32
So who are we going to see Atlanta target at No. 19?
8:33
It's hard to guess with Atlanta.
Jake Fischer from Sports Illustrated is tweeting that the Miami pick in the Bridges/Smith trade is unprotected.
Ted
8:33
Atlanta? Aaron Holiday? Mitchell Robinson? Hopefully not Grayson Allen..
Austin Kent
8:34
I'm a bit all over the place here, my apologies. Jugging a few storylines.
8:35
The Hawks have taken Kevin Huerter at No. 19. I've heard him compared to Klay Thompson... which is fun because Trae Young is obviously Steph Curry-ish.
Kevin O'Connor from The Ringer is calling them Warriors Lite.
Clips
8:35
Robert Williams to the Hawks?
Austin Kent
8:36
I'm surprised that we're still seeing Robert Williams on the board. I was sold when I started hearing Clint Capela comps.
No. 20 is up. That means Minny. I wonder how @Crunch The Timberwolf is doing now, knowing that DiVincenzo is off the board.
Tommy
8:36
Why does the Spurs draft so well?
Austin Kent
8:37
I'm intrigued by Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker
And Slo-Mo Kyle Anderson, of course, always Slo-Mo.
Ted
8:37
Tommy, you like Lonnie Walker for the Spurs? I'm not convinced.
8:39
I liked this from SI: "The 19-year-old millionaire-to-be claimed to adhere to a self-imposed 10 p.m. curfew. He listed off his personal power ranking of Frank Sinatra songs, with “Stranger in the Night” earning top honors."
Tommy
8:39
Yes I do Walker fits in that system
Johnny
8:39
Aaron Holiday might work in Minny
Austin Kent

Also, an update re: the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deal. It seems that the Clips will be giving up second rounders in 2020 and 2021. Here's our report on the deal: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2018/06/clippers-to-acquire-shai-gilgeous-...
Ted
8:39
Will be interesting to see how Lonnie fits into the Spurs culture. But I guess if Dejounte did, Lonnie could.
Austin Kent
8:40
The Timberwolves are up at No. 20.
Are Aaron Holiday and Robert Williams the  best available?
Danny Ainge
8:42
If Grayson falls to me do I take him for some sandpaper and let Marcus smart walk?
Austin Kent
8:42
Now that would be an interesting fit.
The Timberwolves just took Josh Okogie at No. 20.

I like how they don’t show fake fans of teams like the NFL draft. Another reason the hoops is better than football.
Bill
8:43
Robert Williams is a freak athlete but not much else and was suspended a lot in college so there’s that.
TxAg
8:45
Williams wasn’t suspended “a lot”. He was suspended once. So there’s that
Austin Kent
8:46
John Gambadoro from Sports 98.7 in Phoenix is saying that the Suns were thinking of taking DiVincenzo at No. 16 until Philly called with the Bridges offer.
Pickles
8:46
I could see the hawks trading up to snag Robert Williams.  Thoughts? What about moving Dennis?  Surely someone would be willing to offer up a late round first rounder for him?
Austin Kent
8:47
The Jazz just took Grayson Allen. He'd be a good gritty addition to that team as they look to build on their surprise success this season.
8:48
It's crazy to think about how long Allen has been on the NBA radar.
Johnny
8:48
Bulls are getting close to getting Hutchinson
Tommy
8:48
Grayson Allen looks like a young Ted Cruz
Lew
8:48
It would be nice if Holiday falls to Indy
Johnny
8:49
Can't wait to see Allen battle it out with Draymond
L’ol Perfesser
8:49
Do the picks have like a slot value? So the 15th pick is projected to make X$? Could be a reason for some of the trades.
Austin Kent
8:50
Yeah, here's our list of the 2017-18 values. https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2017/06/projected-rookie-contracts-for-201...
