Trade Analysis
Atlanta Hawks Perspective
Atlanta traded down 10 spots from Queen, selected Newell who fit better defensively, and secured a future lottery pick that became Kingston Flemings. Process-wise, converting one lottery pick into two lottery assets is excellent value before any player outcome is settled.
