Summary
Atlanta Hawks pull off a masterstroke in the 2025 NBA Draft, snagging an unprotected 2026 first-round pick from New Orleans in exchange for Asa Newell — a move that pays off big after their lottery luck. The Pelicans, desperate for Derik Queen, paid a steep price with that future pick, despite his underwhelming rookie performance and negative team rating. Hawks now have Kingston Flemings, a potential star, alongside Jalen Johnson, building a young core that’s already proving competitive. With Trae Young’s departure looking like a genius move, Atlanta is stacking talent and poised for the future — while New Orleans’ gamble hinges entirely on Queen becoming an All-Star.
