In today’s deal of the day, the Washington Wizards send cash to the Atlanta Hawks for the #50 overall pick. Atlanta selected Abdoulaye N’Doye in my most recent mock draft.
It’s not a big move on the surface, but it can still build up Washington’s developmental pipeline.
Atlanta is flush with young talent with another lottery pick on the way. It’s time for the team to make a step forward with what they have. They can afford, ahem, to sell a low second round pick.
