No, bad drafting and bad decisions make for bad energy. Until them and the Falcons prove they can do it then they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
it’s discourse! Not “negativity” .. Only 2 teams performing worse as far as expectation is Bron and KD teams respectively.. they supposed to be the best thing going and both need Steph right now to even make a finals.. they played w/everyone else already! Don’t want that for the Hawks, don’t wanna support 82 games for nothing .. I do trust Trae more than Luka, but after that, wth are we doing?! It’s confusing 😭😭
All the predraft interviews of sarr screamed RED FLAG. Zach is self aware, knows his weaknesses, admits to it, and vows to improve. Thats what you want in a potential star, a desire to improve and become better no matter what situation you're put in. You have to admit, sarr will not be better than okongwu or capela or JJ at Center or PF at the start of the season. He'll go straight to the g league and you wouldnt want that in a #1 pick. While Zach is already better than Saddiq and Hunter at Small Forward. So risacher seems like the natural choice based on the hawks need.
Having a weak GM screaming red flags at me, Landry Fields doesn't know wtf he's doing, Travis schlenk was correct Landry and his frat boys are a losing organization Ressler may need to sell this team, they're going backwards everything Landry has done has failed 😂😐😐💯💥
Listen, the guy is exactly what the Hawks needed. They are building around JJ and Trae Young...this guy takes their skills to the next level and they take his skills to the next level. He game is in the mold of a Reggie Miller, Clay Thompson, Kyle Kover type of game. But he is more athletic than all of them. He is great in the open floor. He knows how to get his shot off. He can dribble, and he plays defense. The Hawks needed size on the wings and shooting and defense. He brings that in abundance.
Zaccharie X Jalen is the new Tatum Brown. That’s what they were looking for. Yall remember Jalen Johnson right? He’s a stud. Hawks made the right choice
2 days later.....You trade your best all around player, and you don't get Ingram, Murphy, or McCollum....you get Larry Nance and Dyson Daniels make it make sense.
This front office is so stupid. Terrible pick. Just like the Falcons. They have no clue how to win Needed a big man to crash the boards not slash and shoot. Scoring isn't our problem. Fields is a idiot
When I heard Sarr wasn't a good rebounder I was done with him. Every Hawks game I've seen in the last few years they lost because they weren't getting rebounds.
And that's the point. Great perspective! I wanted Sarr but I'm good with them passing on a dude who disses your team and city. Wouldn't even do a workout.
Im happy with the pick as hes one of the best players in the draft. I think we should keep trae and murray tbh and gon head and let zach get the 3 we need him to reach the full potential. Then whoever aint down with the team thats who we try to move
If the Hawks picked him, he's gonna be mediocre. That's just nature. And I live in Atlanta. Why did it have to be this draft class that the Hawks got the No. 1 pick??? Dangit!
Landry is an idiot and has not done a single thing as his time as GM that has made the Hawks better. This pick is just another example of this team having no direction
@Sk8forever Murray is wanted by his coach, not Trae. Who traded to get Trae after having Doncic? Also, your coach wanted Clingan, but the GM who isn't coaching a certain system from what your coach is trying to do had a big to help. Capella isn't getting any younger, and nobody is eye-popping at center now !! Stupid ...if nothing else, trade back and get 2 for 1. There is no significant player in this draft. I hope he made the right choice, although I have my doubts !!
@@gary50900 why did you respond to my comment with a bunch of unrelated gibberish? your sentence structure is terrible and barely readable…and quit it with the hypotheticals about trading back when there’s no evidence that any team was interested in trading up. Wanna be back seat driver General manager
Just not seeing the team vision. Keep plugging in wings until something works? This team gets beat up by bigger, stronger teams. I think I’d start addressing that issue.
The Hawks need a new GM, a new Head Coach this front office is a joke how can you win when you don't belive in your players I can't understand they have been in this F U Atlanta mode for years and it's time to change this isn't GS I'm a fan of the game a Hawks fan for over 40 year's I like what the Celtics did they believed in their stars Tatum, and Brown look at them now, no matter what the hawks do we are not winning right away
IM done. Ive been patient with this team for to long. BLOW it up. whatever. Tired of seeing the same movie... We have no rim protection. and we got get another Freakin Wing that's a project.. Josh Childress. Stacy Augman. Deondre Hunter.. Same old same old. you want defennse you get a legit Center.. IM DONE. yall can have this Foolishness. Sarr pissed them off and they got in their feelings.. Thats the issue with this Teams Culture... yall can have it
Zac is more skilled and has much higher upside than Childress and Augman. Hunter has shown flashes but is injury prone and improperly utilized. Give Risa a chance or he'll make you eat your words. The guy is legit.
@@Juane-ov8dzbro stop believing the hype... Zach is a great shooter & great defender, plus he's good off-ball like an early Klay Thompson. The only thing he needs to work on is shot creation and on ball playmaking.. those things will come in time. The Euro league doesn't value superstars because they play system basketball. He basically has the same stats as Luka coming out of the Euro league. He will be good going forward plus in American he's not known but oversees he was seen as a prodigy in Europe. Sarr basically has to literally develop his Whole offensive game. Zach already has both at this point
The biggest issue.....The Hawks as an organization have become dysfunctional. Fields is probably the least respected GM in the league. These last two weeks really have shown what NBA circles think about when they hear Atlanta Hawks. I stopped watching the Hawks two years ago, and probably won't have a reason to anytime soon
I go to and watch all of the games and the only reason we lose is because we're not getting rebounds. If the Hawks get better at rebounding they can easily go deep into the playoffs.
@@shonuf5152 that's because I like basketball not a minor league g League team who only shows player from college Park Georgia to Atlanta I stopped watching the Hawks 2 years ago and to be honest I just wanted to see what others felt about the Hawks and this draft pick they're the same hogs that drafted Ed Gray priest Lauderdale Doug Edwards Dion Glover. Totally different era but still the exact same blueprint I pass
This type of pick can get a guy fired, if this pick isn't a star Landry should be fired after next season, what hell is he afraid of, he's afraid to make a pick, afraid to make a trade he's Mr Waffles
@@laryanryan9170 u don't know how weak the front office appears to be, the draft has no to do with improvement of this team now, everyone knew there's no player in this draft to make the hawks contenders now, that has to come from Landry Mr Waffles, what he doing, he has done nothing to improve this team
Definitely will NOT be going to any Hawks NBA games. If the mangement doesn't give af about winning now, and is trying to figure things out, why waste my money watching them experiment? I'll be going to Atlanta Braves games in Marietta. That MLB team is built on winning.
Should have took Sarr smh way higher ceiling . Hawks just took a Nicholas Batum clone at number 1. Man one city can blow two high draft picks in one year .
Literally drafted a Role Player with the #1 Pick. This is exactly like Cleveland taking Anthony Bennett #1. Because you literally took a wing who shoots a mediocre 3 ball in FIBA instead of a versatile Big knowing you have no rim protection. To be fair tho, I didn't expect anything different. On draft night Landry Fields was the darkest thing in the front offices war room. And this fanbase encompasses a mostly black metro area and fan base. No wonder there is such a disconnect between the team and fans and the organization as a whole is literally .500 over the decade. Definition of MID
If the Hawks were able to trade down and get him, I'd agree 100%, but at #1, that's a reach, seeing as he fell down in the draft and Portland was able to draft him. If Washington or Houston drafted him, it would be a valid argument, but the Hawks had other thoughts.
I don't see this skinny kid helping immediately, he's like JJ a 2-3 year project, 1st year in CP, he can barely speak English how will that effect communication on the floor especially on defense
I like the pick and see potential in the young man. Negative thinking projects negative energy, so let's keep it positive.
No, bad drafting and bad decisions make for bad energy. Until them and the Falcons prove they can do it then they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
What is Landry doing for the hawks to win now
it’s discourse! Not “negativity” ..
Only 2 teams performing worse as far as expectation is Bron and KD teams respectively.. they supposed to be the best thing going and both need Steph right now to even make a finals.. they played w/everyone else already!

Don’t care what nobody says..it’s a good pick and he’s better then sarr
Thank you
Hmm then why should we care what you say? Nonetheless, I’ve came around to the pick.
This front office is so stupid. Terrible pick. Just like the Falcons. They have no clue how to win Needed a big man to crash the boards not slash and shoot. Scoring isn't our problem. Fields is a idiot
Lmao ok
When I heard Sarr wasn't a good rebounder I was done with him. Every Hawks game I've seen in the last few years they lost because they weren't getting rebounds.
Pick may not be the best value for a number 1 but I believe the Hawks did the best they could do with what was available.
This was a very weak draft.
And that's the point. Great perspective! I wanted Sarr but I'm good with them passing on a dude who disses your team and city. Wouldn't even do a workout.

I still say go swoop up free agent Bolbol for some xtra affordable help on the defensive end. And he shot 40% from 3pt
He the alien in space jam who stole KlayThompson juice. He is our Klay Thompson and I ain’t mad at it.
No playoffs in 2025 🙁
I heard some fool say nance can play C 😂😂😂😂😂😂 gtfoh Landry

NO DIRECTION. He said Zacc is the best player in the draft.
Zacharrie risacher is bro
Thanks for posting this.
For people mad about the pick don't watch the pick
What is Landry doing for the hawks to win now
I like the pick. Just think the FO is off to vacation now and will run it back with the same roster. So not expecting much this upcoming season.
Buddy better turn into a lock down defender 😒
But Trae don’t have to be a lockdown defender
He said they had his eyes on Zacc early. He didn't like Sarr at all. The real #1. First Trae and Luka. Now Zacc and Sarr. Time will tell.
Don't forget about Pau Gasol! We traded him too!
Hope this pick plays out for real
I wonder what the number one picks nickname is gonna be. I hear my boy Raphael Haynes with the first question
Landry is an idiot and has not done a single thing as his time as GM that has made the Hawks better. This pick is just another example of this team having no direction
