Who should the Hawks select with the No. 6 pick?

Atlanta has two potential 2020 All-Stars on its roster in Trae Young and John Collins. It also added Clint Capela to its frontcourt via trade during the 2019-20 season. The Hawks drafted Cam Reddish and De’Andre Hunter in the 2019 NBA Daft, and both could blossom into quality 3-and-D players, but they need more players who can create for themselves and others. Killian Hayes has solid pro experience and could play as a combo guard alongside Young. His 6’5” frame would allow him defend shooting guards while playing alongside Young in the backcourt. Young is the only returning player Atlanta has that averaged more than 5 assists per game this past season. Hayes is an elite passer has drawn comparisons to James Harden offensively.
