What's up basketball fans! I am here again @dwin0603 to give you another exciting basketball discussion for another episode of NBA Talk, and today we will talk about the winners of the 2019 NBA Draft. Let's start!
The NBA Draft is finally on the books and there are, of course, losers and winners in the draft. It's really a difficult job finding the right prospects. It's hard to know if a player really has a high ceiling or potential. Sometimes, it's just a matter of luck to draft a player who isn't expected to be great then suddenly turned into a superstar caliber player. And mostly, the top 5 picks turn out to be the best players in their class. Now, let's take a look at the top winners in the 2019 NBA draft.
New Orleans Pelicans
This one is given. Number 1 pick overall. Zion Williamson. What more can you ask for? This was the best selection and it's already known that the Pelicans will take Zion Williamson with the 1st overall pick. Who would not? Zion is a once in a generation kind of talent. He's a freak of nature and probably the best young guy since LeBron James. Zion is projected to be as good as LeBron James or maybe even better. Let's see if he can live up to the expectations and excite us.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are one of the biggest winners in this year's NBA Draft. They really did great moves to collect top prospects. They put together a bunch of young studs and their future is looking bright now. The Atlanta Hawks drafted De'Andre Hunter, Cameron Reddish and then trading for Bruno Fernando. I believe that Reddish is the biggest steal by the Atlanta Hawks. I see lots of potentials in him. He will be a great player. Hunter is a great defensive big that can blend with Trae Young and John Collins. This Atlanta Hawks team would surely be scary in the future.
Memphis Grizzlies
And of course, last but not the least, the Memphis Grizzlies. They selected Ja Morant with the second overall pick. Ja Morant is already an established elite point guard after playing two years in college. He is NBA ready and he can be the right replacement for Mike Conley after the Grizzlies traded him. Morant is an explosive scorer inside and outside. He's also a floor general. A really nice fit at the point guard position. Memphis really won this draft selecting the best guard in the 2019 NBA draft.
