Atlanta Hawks ’19-’20 Season Grades: Bruno Fernando

When the Atlanta Hawks traded up to take Bruno Fernando in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft, it seemed like a big win for the team. Many (including myself) had Fernando going in the first round, and his slip into the early second was a bit of a surprise.

The Hawks sent three future second-rounders to Philly for the rights to Fernando, the 34th pick, capping an already busy draft night for Atlanta. While the Maryland big man definitely took a backseat to De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish in terms of fan excitement, many were still happy to see Fernando land in the ATL.
