My Take
Asa Newell is the kind of prospect I instinctively root for and worry about in equal measure. A consensus five-star recruit out of Atlanta, one of the top names in his class, and now in the NBA with the Hawks before he is twenty-one. At 208 cm he has the frame, but what interests me more is whether the hype gets to translate into a real role rather than a cautionary tale. Staying in his home city of Atlanta after starring for the Georgia Bulldogs feels almost storybook. I will be watching to see if the development matches the billing, because the talent clearly isn't in question.
