Hawks GM on Draft plans: We are going to take who we feel is the best player

Hawks GM Travis Schlenk talks with the Athletic about his team plans for the NBA Draft: “We are going to take who we feel is the best player there. We’re not in a position when you start picking that high in the draft — I think it’s a mistake to draft on need unless the talent is equal, but you look for the best talent when you draft that high”.

Before the suspension the Hawks were 20-47, second to last in the Eastern Conference standings.
