2019 NBA Draft: 3 Atlanta Hawks Backup Point Guard Options in Second Round
The Atlanta Hawks have a need for a backup point guard next season. Should they address that need in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft?
During the 2018-19 NBA season, the Atlanta Hawks first employed Jeremy Lin as the team’s backup point guard before buying him out (allowing him to sign with potential NBA Champions, the Toronto Raptors) and naming undrafted rookie Jaylen Adams as the team’s backup one guard. As you can tell, the team didn’t particularly have a reliable option behind Trae Young last year. With that in mind, should the team opt to draft someone in the 2019 NBA Draft to fill that need?
