Roster Intelligence

Atlanta's needs heading into the 2026 Draft, ranked.

  • 1.Rim Protector / Shot BlockerC

    Interior defense was a weakness all season. A mobile center who protects the paint changes the team's defensive identity.

    🎯 Draft Target: 12.0 BLK%, 9'9" standing reach, Big Ten DPOY — most Hawks-specific fit in the draft.
  • 2.Lead Ball-Handler / PGPG

    Post-Trae playmaking vacuum. Need on-ball creation.

  • 3.Wing Scoring DepthSGSF

    Pair with Risacher; insurance behind the wing rotation.

  • 4.Frontcourt of the FuturePFC

    Modern 4/5 to evolve past Capela.

PM Note

This is a portfolio prototype — built to demonstrate how I'd think about a fan/front-office intelligence tool. Real version would integrate live mock-draft data, advanced player analytics, salary-cap math, and a save/share layer for scout collaboration.
