• [Rowland] Per source, the Hawks and Quin Snyder have agreed to a contract extension. As I've noted many times over the last few weeks, this was a long time coming. (Will be announced/official later today)

• "The Hawks need a lead guard, but I’ve heard centers more when asking about what they’re looking to do at No. 8" - Sam Vecenie

  From Sam's NBA Draft Round Up from today:

  1. Atlanta Hawks (via NOP)

  Aday Mara | 7-3 big | 21 years old | Michigan

  The Hawks need a lead guard, but I’ve heard centers more when asking about what they’re looking to do at No. 8. They’ve also explored potential trade-down scenarios to accumulate assets, something that should come as no surprise since president of basketball operations Onsi Saleh is regarded as one of the best long-term strategists in the league.

  Mara fits Atlanta’s scheme well under Quin Snyder thanks to his passing ability and his rim protection. Remember, Snyder is the coach who unlocked Rudy Gobert’s length in drop coverage and helped turn him into one of the best defensive players in the league. Mara does not move as well as Gobert but is similarly massive with a 9-foot-9 standing reach at 7-foot-3 without shoes. He can shut down the paint, finish above the rim on the interior and be an impediment at the basket for opposing teams.

  This was after Wagler, Acuff and Flemings went 5-6-7.

  I tend to not really believe any draft reporting this time of year until it's reported by two different people. With that being said Sam is as well connected as anybody so it definitely gives you pause.

  I find it believable that trading back and drafing Mara is our preferred option, especially since we reportedly were interested in trading back and drafting Clingan in 2024. I also could see us being pretty interested in Flemings if he is there at 8. I've heard a couple of different people comp him to Donovan Mitchell, who Quin was obviously involved in drafting and developing.

  Thoughts? (Downvotes?)

• MBJ to shut down pre-draft workouts

  Clippers and Hawks will be his last two workouts. Did someone promise him, were they before or after us?

  EDIT: These are pre-draft meetings not workouts
