It’s killing me to watch our team playing mostly “no team” basketball. Bud is turning over in his grave. Lol

When guys are playing you as close as they're playing Trae, it means that they think you have no chance to get around them.

Use your brain Trae.  Take their aggressiveness and used it against them.

Finally gets a long jumper to go.   Maybe that will energize him.

Hmmm. He  did a good job getting around that defender

My thoughts after watching the game:

1. Trae Young is highly skilled in passing and court awareness. (Pinpoint passing)

 

I was like, damn! This dude can pass. Our summer league team sucks at shooting the ball. Trae should have has about 18 assists lol

But seriously, do is mad skills with his court vision. The shooting will come. He isn't afraid to drive the ball either. I can see him getting a lot of fouls with that little body driving to the basket. 

I just wish he wouldn't have stopped himself from flipping Grayson on the court. Those Utah homers calling the game sucked! smh

Not with the new lottery odds.

Top 3 picks all have the same odds 14%

Picks 4 - 6 are only 5% away

 

In the old system, the worst team had a 25% chance of picking 1st, and a 37% chance of picking 4th.

In this new system, the worst team has a 14% chance of picking 1st, and a 48% chance of picking 5th.

dang! Well... we will mos def be top 3. lol

With the way Trae tossed Grayson's arm bar off, I don't think he will get punked. Him vs Dennis could make for some interesting and testy practice match ups,

I’m with you. I don’t think Trae lacks toughness. It looks like to me... that he had to calm himself down. He was about to flip Grayson ass upside down.  lol

We are most definitely on the right path to that #1 pick lol

Kid is crafty and I love his fire.  I love rooting for the underdog so I'll be pulling for him.   Might explain why I've been a Hawks fan for 20 years.  lol.

Didn't think he would opt out and leave $28 mil on the table.

 

 

 

With both him and Daryl Arthur picking up their option, Denver is now over the cap and will be into the Luxury Tax after resigning Jokic. 

Hawks will be in position to take on salary dumps for an asset.

 

Can the Hawks take one of them, plus Michael Jr. ???  lol

Damn! His NBA combine video is good! Bye Dorsey! 

I remember how we used to want all of our draft picks to play, and not go back over seas. lol

Looks like this year all 3 are projected to start at some point. lol

For sure. There is something about this kid I just love....he’s genuine and real. Love it!

Hmmm like Draymond?  lol

I love how classic this organization is. The Hawks sure do know how to put on a show! Only if we can get the right players to follow

He has had more impressive games and shots than the ones in the Alabama game

I'm pretty sure. That's why I'm like, if 17pts and 8 assist is a bad night for him in the NBA... I'm good with that.

Glad you’re excited about new draftee ....by the way because you’re likely going to get some negative feedback just remember, don’t let anyone here steal your joy about curry .......shit I mean Young 

haha! I'm good. It just feeds the desire to see him play.

I'm trying to find some full games on our three draft picks. I came across this highlight of Trae's "bad game" against Alabama. 

Man, I'm hyped about this kid. I'm praying I see some of this in an Hawks uniform. He does remain me of Curry with the quick shot. That ball is up and out of his hand very fast. He also has a very deadly step back shot, which I thinks helps him shoot over taller players. OOOOHHHH and the passing skills isn't that bad either lol

I think we have an all star!

I'm a Hawks fan first. So I'm riding with Trae until I see it isn't working. 

Fans wanted Doncic because of what he did in the Euro League. Well Trae did something no once has ever did in the college league... Lead the league in points and assists. That has to make you feel good as a Hawks fan.

Depends on if they hold on to some of the other vets.  I heard they were not going to trade Kevin Love.  If they can still keep Love & Thompson they should still come in the 10th or 11th seed range in the east.   Maybe they pick range would be around 11-13th in this scenario.

 If they are the 13th worst team halfway through the season, you best believe they will tank the second half to make sure they get that draft pick 

Oh and I wanted Walker over both Divincenzo and Huerter smh

Did anyone notice that our last two picks didn't get leaked? Every other picked for other teams were leaked.

Yes.

Ha! lol smh

Now THAT I don't believe. This team's drafted too much like the Warroirs. Only our GM is responsible for that...

Oh and our coach liked Trae too, if you listened to the way Bob and Nique talked at the Hawks membership party.

I like having size at the SG position.  6'7" and he'll beef up from that 190 lbs he's at now.  I can't stand small-ball backcourts.  He can shoot, pass, and seems to have good awareness, court vision, and BBIQ.  Seems Bud Ball is still very much alive even though he isn't around anymore.

Maybe because in 2016 he was 6'5" and was a PG.

His name sounds like HURTER. no nickname necessary. 

That’s the name they gave him at Maryland

Dallas will have one of the top 5 worse records next season if not top 3. 

The pick will be in the top 10 whenever it conveys, these are the type of trades you need to make if you want two top ten picks...

If they get a big, Dallas will have one of the top 10 worse records. Lets hope they get pick #6 lol
