Glad we have Schlenk to help with talent evaluation. Clearly the Warriors made some good decisions. The drafting of Collins also shows that we can find great talent with out later picks.

I wouldn't say it is rigged but I'd be mad as hell.

Yea, while I do like Prince I have been wondering if we couldn't use a slight upgrade at that position in terms of height and athletacism. I think we really need more height at SG. Most of the contenders have SGs at 6-6 to 6-7. Ours are 6-5 at best. We're also a little short at PG but I'm not as worried about lenght at that position. I guess the Hawks teams recently have always been a little undersized. Might as well get some length while we are rebuilding.

Thats an impressive stat. The Hawks offence has been really good this year. Need to step it up on defense though.

Well, he's not afraid of contact. If the Hawks can land him for a decent deal, then why not?

So true. What makes it entertaining is that a loss hurts a little less this year. Let's be honest, had the Hawks lost this game in the past 10 years there would be a lot of players, coaches, and referees being thrown under the bus right now.

Dennis could have scored a bit better but I like that he had 0 turovers. While I like him on the team, I can totally see Belinelli being traded for a young asset or pick before the end of the season.

Really enjoyed this win. Collins continues to impress and I'm glad I was wrong in my assumption that he would see next to no playtime this early in the season. Hope that trend continues. As for Dennis, I think looking at his assist to turnover numbers can be misleading. Players have to take and make shots for him to get the assist. I've tried to look for a "pass per minute" stat but it isnt readily available. His pass per game last year was actually on par with Jeff Teagues. I don't see how anyone can call Dennis a ball hog. https://stats.nba.com/players/passing/?Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular Season&PlayerPosition=G&StarterBench=Starters&sort=PASSES_MADE&dir=1 By the way, I'm starting to see why Bud likes Josh Magette. He's a great facilitator and made some really good reads.

Today I learned about the C&S Bank Tower.

Man, I feel bad for Hayward. He has to be dissapointed.

By the way, Schlenk will be on the show every Tuesday just after 8 am. And, yea, nothing new this week given that the season hasn't started. I'm sure the naratives will get more interesting as things progress.

Ah, cool. Ill go with 2.7 for the A/TO then.

@AHF do we need a tie breaker? Like: 1) The number of dunks by Collins. 2) Assist to turnover ratio for Dennis.

31, 51. 12th in the East.

I think trading Dennis is a huge risk. Finding a quality starter, even with favorable picks, could be a challenge.
