Description
The Atlanta Hawks Film Room Podcast: a Hawks-centric series hosted by David Lee that brings fans from opposing teams to breakdown film and talk through the numbers that defined each and every game.
Episode 67 is a special mailbag edition focused on the 2026 NBA Draft. Alongside special guests Ahmed (@slipthescreen) and Paul (@SheedinATL), we discussed Cayden Boozer vs Dash Daniels, the biggest risers & fallers by the end of the season from current consensus, whether the Grizz or Hawks have a harder decision to make related to the draft, what makes a big draftable, Cam Boozer's role projection, the prospects we're projecting as quality NBA-level shooters despite poor percentages historically, NC State's guard room, prospects entering complex offensive systems and our overall draft philosophies.
