Hawks GM Landy Fields says that while he is still fielding calls, the franchise is planning to keep the No. 1 pick in this month's NBA draft.
general manager Landry Fields says he likes his options for the potential top picks in the NBA draft -- and he insists he's not planning on trading the No. 1 pick, even though his phone lines remain open.
The Hawks were the surprise winner of the NBA draft lottery on May 12. Atlanta won the No. 1 draft pick despite just 3% odds after finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference at 36-46. Even so, Fields acknowledged the task of determining which prospect should be No. 1 is an ongoing process. He said he, not team owner Tony Ressler, will make the draft choice.The decision on keeping the No. 1 pick could be affected by the fact the Hawks have no other selections in the draft. The roster may need help from more than one draft pick after the team lost to Chicago in the first round of the play-in tournament.
