Atlanta's first-round pick from New Orleans may not be quite the asset it seems.
The Atlanta Hawks are certainly in a favorable position following their decision to trade away Trae Young. But while the organization rightfully likes where they're at, perhaps their most valued asset isn't quite what many seem to think it is. The New Orleans Pelicans' first-round pick that Atlanta holds is great on paper, but where the pick lands will decide everything.
In order to think about this properly, we have to consider the Hawks' roster needs and where the Pelicans' selection will end up being.
