17 : Atlanta Hawks select Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State
The Hawks are going to be needing players this next season, as quite a few that are currently on the roster will be gone next season. Franklin helps in every aspect of the game.
He doesn’t shoot 3’s very well, but that might be his only downfall. Last season at San Diego State, he led the team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. He is an energy guy and very active on defense. Will be a good fit for the Hawks who will need a shooting guard.
