Small Forward. Atlanta Hawks. Svi Mykhailiuk. 30. player. 125.

There are plenty of players who could be an option for the Atlanta Hawks here with the final pick of the redraft. They have a number of options available to them, as the next slide of honorable mentions will illustrate. They can take low-upside bench players or swing for the fences. With a center and an on-ball guard already in tow in this redraft, the Hawks go for elite shooting and take Svi Mykhailiuk.

“Sviatoslav” as his mother likely calls him has hung on the fringes of NBA rotations, consistently bombing away from outside and doing little else. For his career, 65.5 percent of his shots have been from 3-point range, with most of the others shots that are opened up because of his shooting.

The 6’7″ wing is a terrible rebounder for his size, and he rarely blocks shots and only slightly-less-rarely passes to a teammate for a shot. His turnover percentage is remarkably high for a player with his role. He will need to clean that up to stay playable as a shooter on the wing.

The Atlanta Hawks conclude the draft with their third pick, the most of any other team. They got three players who all have a tentpole strength and could be a part of what the Hawks are building down in Georgia.
