There has been a late surge when it comes to Bam Adebayo’s draft stock and Sports Illustrated just put forth another example. The Atlanta Hawks, who could certainly use a big man for the future, are linked to Adebayo in the publication’s final mock draft with the No. 19 overall pick.
Bam spent most of the college basketball season as a fixture in first-round projections, but a rough tournament saw him slip. He's been surging back up various mocks in recent weeks. His shooting is what's caught teams off guard—for example, there's more skill on display in this DraftExpress video than we saw in four months at Kentucky.
