J.R. Smith hands down

He has the potential to become very good in the future and the Hawks
could afford to wait because they aren't going anywhere for a while

Even if they trade this pick to the Clippers, I think they will stil
take Smith considering he is the B.P.A.

 

[George O'Brien]

It is hard to know what the Hawks will do, but at this point I think Jefferson would be hard to resist. He is actually bigger than most of thought and is reputed to be a real horse:

Jefferson, Al 6'8.25" 6'9.75" 263 7'2.5" 9'2"
