The Atlanta Hawks, via a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, selected Maryland’s Bruno Fernando with the 34th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft Thursday night, reuniting multiple Terps in the process.
His selection opens the next chapter in a basketball journey that began in Angola over a decade ago. Fernando also becomes the third Terp selected in the last two drafts, joining Kevin Huerter and Justin Jackson last season. He’ll add another piece to a building Hawks team, which also has former Terps Huerter and Alex Len on the roster.
