Summary
Atlanta pulled off a savvy trade to land top-tier center Henri Veesaar in the second round, beating out the Lakers and Knicks with a cash-and-pick deal from the Clippers. Sliding to pick 52 due to his no-nonsense contract demands, Veesaar opted for guaranteed money over a two-way deal — a risky move that could’ve netted him $5.5M by returning to college. Now, with All-ACC honors and historic stats under his belt, he’s headed to Atlanta to anchor their frontcourt — proving second-round picks can still make massive impacts.
