tx a lot for sharing

i expect Korver playing also playing the, when Lou is healthy i believe it will be his primary position.

i don't think this will happen, and even as a schröder i hope he don't get the chanche for it. Since this will mean Teague have an serious injury to give Dennis the encessary playing time, but he can have a break out as a backup I believe more realistic is to hope that he makes the allstar day, as a personal award and hopefully have an succesful season including 1-2 Po rounds

about schröder, in germans board someone claims(who said he know him) said he was at 70% and the coach leave the decision to him if he plays or not.

Are there any informations, why schröder isn't playing?

From my perspective no, i wouldn't be surprised if he is better then last season and or get a bigger role but he is already on a good level so that i would call it a progress and not a break out.

Like someone already said, i believe it is to early yet to use him as first option.And i wouldn't trade teague, when i am a hawk GM - i believe it Dennis turns out to be good enough to run the show Teague has no problem to play the 2 spot like in College. But this would be intresting for me especially at the begin of the season(cause of Lou).And maybe in the PO when you want to play with a smaller rotation.If Schröder and Jenkins develope well, then you can think of trading teague or Williams for a 3 or a 5

i think it is quite early to put the future of the franchise on his shoulders ;) But i am happy, that he looks good against and with his new teammates.

my guess for #1 are the clippers, they are always good for some highlights.

But Brand can play also the four, imho it is even his better position. Even when i expect Brand to get plenty of minutes as 4 and 5 this season - making it mostly a three big men rotation.

I am surprised to see Antić in the LineUp of the second team, i would have espected Ayón there. The first team, looks like the strongest possible lineup right now, even when i don't expect that we see this lineup often since we need Korver to play SF too.This should be James Johnson.

Imho the Goat should be viewn in comparision to his competion, not on the game you would have when you invent a time maschine and let all of them play against each other in the prime. For me it is relevant that they pushed the Limit during the time they was active. But even when he was in All "All NBA teams" he wouldn't be in my closer consideration for GOAT, i believe at least in his late years Russel and Wilt was active who are for me GOAT candidates and one level above Petit.But he is definately one of the all time greats, and i would rate him higher then wilikins and Pistol Pete who are maybe the biggest names amoung hawks players.What i read about Maravich i think it is ok to say that he was overated, since his playing style was full of highlights but not always what you call efficient - but i believe if they implemented the 3 point line 10 years earlier he would have deserved the biggest contract of the NBA.

i think thats quite a lot when the target is strength and not mass alone(sry dennis i hope you don't get those cheeseburgers) Thats a lot for info :)

In an Interview to a german news Portal Coach Budinger or an assistance said that they wanted dennis to stay because they wanted him to bulk up 5kg ( i believe thats 11lbs), which i think was pretty amtious but maybe Possible cause of Dennis low bodyfat. How much do you think he progressed in that direction, i really have trouble to see such things.

Karasev would be good, but i pretty sure you will be happy not to see Shabazz in your Jersey ;) And about Karasev i am not so sure if he would fit into the team, cause with korver you already have a shooting specialist. And i doubt trading up for getting a backup SF instead of a backup PG(with upside) and a C who brings many tools on the table would be a good idea.

that might be an bias through the highlight clips, often highlights happen when you have space or contact. A good pass is a pass who finds an wide open player. A good dribbling is something which creates space for you, and this are points who are often shown in DS vids. But i have trouble to compare it with the NBA, since i usually watch BBL or college but what i have heard that during nba regular season the defense intensivity is often low, and that euros are usually the better jump shooters since it is more difficult to penetrate under FIBA rules(the 3point line is closer to the basket which means you can not stretch the floor that easily, you have to dribble before the first step in the nba you can make atleast one not sure about the second). But we also teach less athletics to our players, which might lead to the point that you are right. Maybe i can answer you this after this season since i am going to watch some hawks games definately.

since you quoted me on german right, making the breath test is making things easier for you and don't make evidence on you. If the police ask you for a breath test and you decline, they get an blood test for you. If you pass the breath test, you can continue driving if you fail it they get an blood test for you which give exact results.

weird that this happens without a bloodtest, in germany you can refuse the breath test but if you do so you will get a blood test pretty soon. if the breath test positiv you also need to make a bloodtest, without testing the blood you can not get charged in germany(no proofe no case). When he make the test 6 hours later, it is pretty useless a healthy male can reduce his alcohol level alot in this time.

i think the current hawks team, is as good as the last hawks team so i don't see them at top list of improved rosters. Also Milsap don't have the lobby of Smith, so that his loss will be considered as a loss in quality for many fans. On the other hand the bucks had a lot of injurys last season, so they should improve when they have a normal injury history this season.

but he isn't in his prime anymore, and you loose mobility while aging. I would say, playing the 4 is easier for him now since he still can read a defense, is a big body and can work with positioning in the post. While he should get trouble with penetrating 3s.

isn't it possible that teague plays the 2 again like he did in college, if Schröder is ready to start? Imho he is the best hawk guard right now, with a great contract. I wouldn't want to give him away, but maybe give him more minutes at the 2 if Dennis works out since i am not a fan of the current 2 guards.

if you are in a better physical state, you can dribble and shoot better when you do something exhausting like running the floor up and down and getting pushed while doing it ;) And for the people who say make it legal, in fact i am believing that the use of it in the NBA is very popular(since many europe players gain lot of weight in short time when moving to the state without getting fat), and the test and punishment are somehow low. But if it is regular, they are pushed to take more and it isnt healthy. I would like to see, if all sports leagues put a bit of the generated money apart for fighting the drug abuse and at least install a system like the olympics or the cyclist with bloodtest and blood storage to test the blood again few years later when the test catch up the drugs. This protects the health of the athletes like refs ;) And it is a shame that the biggest sports leages have really poor testing(also the soccer leagues in europe are crap in that regard)

I doubt it, Teodosic is a great PG but i think on this position FIBA and NBA Basketball require different Skillset. In the NBA you need to create much more for yourself, or play 2 man plays while in europe it is more about organisating the team. Schröder for example, is a player i always said that he fits much better to the NBA style of play then to the FIBA style. For FIBA i think even germany have 1-2 better suited PGs Jasekevicius my favorite FIBA PG, on the other hand didn't make the transition from FIBA to NBA. Calderon is also on of the best in international competion, and i think he is stronger there then parker for example on NBA rules he is a solid starter nothing more and parker is one of best. And for me McCalleb style as a score first guard, with a very good eye for his team mates is a much better fit for the NBA then Teodesic(who would be also in the NBA a better defender but i doubt that he can use his strengths in offense).

I wouldn't expect to much from him, he is a physical strong PF(not a C) with a good entertaining factor. I think his style of play fits better to FIBA ball, where he isn't that dominant beside an very impressive 2011 Eurobasket. Talking about this tournament, i don't understand why no NBA team take a look at Bo McCalleb, even when he is small i think his skillset is better suited for the NBA then FIBA ball and even here he is really really impressive.
