Atlanta Hawks: 5 options for pick No. 60 in the 2017 NBA Draft
1. Wesley Iwundu, SG, Kansas State
2016-17 statistics: 13 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 3.5 APG
The Atlanta Hawks were one of numerous teams to bring in Wesley Iwundu for a pre-draft workout this summer.
When the 6’7″ guard met with the Hawks last week, it was the 12th different organization he had met, with another six teams already slated to bring him in for workouts.
Mock drafts have Iwundu projected to be taken throughout the draft, as NBADraft.net has Orlando selecting him 25th overall, while DraftExpress believes Utah will take him him 55th.
Since the second round is wildly unpredictable, with international prospects adding to the uncertainty, players like Iwundu have a tendency to slip, simply because of the time he spent in college.
After four seasons at Kansas State, the 22-year-old could be bypassed in the draft for candidates with more upside.

If Iwundu manages to slip five spots past Utah in the second round, Atlanta would gladly add him to the roster before the conclusion of the 2017 NBA Draft.
