2019 NBA Mock Draft: Post-Lottery edition

An intriguing two-way center, Goga Bitadze offers the Washington Wizards a nice building block moving forward. Offensively gifted, he prefers to do most of his scoring close to the basket but is capable of stretching the floor. Defensively, his limitations are few for someone his size, but switching out to the perimeter will be a struggle for him. Playing with Thomas Bryant shouldn’t be a concern either, as Bryant’s strides as a 3-point shooter continue to make leaps and bounds, opening up the floor for Goga to do his work inside. Without much hope for the future, Bitadze would be a welcomed presence in D.C.. Center. Washington Wizards. Goga Bitadze. 9. player. 142

Bol Bol. 10. player. 125. With the second of their picks, assuming they don’t trade them, the Hawks will want to focus in on a center who can maximize John Collins’ potential. Bol Bol has the shot to do that. At 7’2″, his unique play style is focused around his elite shooting. Spreading the floor while Collins works down low, or passing to him from the post, is exactly what the Hawks envision with this pick. the defensive end is where the concerns lie, as his extremely thin frame raises questions on whether he can even stay on the court for long stretches. Teams will no doubt try and post him up, but his shot-blocking ability, at least as a weak-side helper, are at least some positives for him on that end. If it all comes together, a Trae Young-Kevin Huerter-Cam Reddish-John Collins-Bol Bol lineup could be one of the very best in the league for years to come … but that “if” is more than questionable.. Center. Atlanta Hawks
