## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks stunned the NBA draft by selecting Zuby Ejiofor 23rd overall, a defensive savant from St. John’s who’s built for grit over glamour. With Kingston Flemings already on board at No. 8, Atlanta’s clear message: defense is king. Standing under 6’8”, Ejiofor’s offense is evolving fast, and his versatility—power forward or small-ball center—makes him a perfect fit for Quin Snyder’s system. They passed on Cameron Carr to stick to their blueprint, betting Ejiofor’s untapped potential will shine. Still, size remains a concern, and Ejiofor’s likely to anchor the four. Atlanta’s drafting their own path, bold, deliberate, and built for toughness. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
