Atlanta Hawks: First-Round NBA Draft Options
Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
125. <strong> </strong>Height: 6′ 9”, Weight: 222 lbs, Wingspan: 7′ 3.5”, Position: PF, Age: 19, College: UCLA. PF. UCLA. Kevon Looney. 5. player
Does that wingspan say 7-foot-3?! You read it correctly.
Looney is a smaller power forward that makes up for his height with length and athleticism (we already broke down his play and how he would fit in with the Hawks).
Looney played well at UCLA despite poor free throw shooting, but some worry that his game will not translate well to the NBA.
I think there is a good chance that Looney will still be available at 15, but the Atlanta Hawks may look for someone taller and stronger to help with rim protection and defensive rebounding.
