Hawks Potentially Eyeing Donovan Clingan In NBA Draft
5 months agoThe Atlanta Hawks currently own the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft, and it happens to be one that there isn't many consensus picks from top to bottom. Alex Sarr has been talked about the most for the No. 1 selection, but it sounds like that could change after a recent Dan Hurley interview. As he talked about his decision to not go the Los Angeles Lakers, he explained that he spoke to Quin Snyder (head coach of the Atlanta Hawks), and said that they really like UConn big man Donovan Clingan. Most mock drafts have him somewhere around third to seventh, but there haven't been any standout prospects that are a surefire choice at first overall. Clingan could provide solid defense and rebounding while they move on from either Clint Capela or Onyeka Okongwu.
