You could see Jaren Jackson Jr slide up here, but likely that’d come from another team via a trade.  I just can’t see how the Hawks would justify a Jackson/Collins front court.  I know some people think they have complementary skills sets, but I don’t see how that works.  I can see a much better fit by putting Porter in Atlanta on a lineup with Taurean Prince.   Porter might be the best player in this draft, but without having had the opportunity to see him play in college on a consistent basis all we can do is speculate.  The size and skills are there.  For a team that’s still searching for a go-to scorer this selection should be pretty simple math.
