    I think he will be a solid player, with Trae and DJ it probably won’t be here long term, which kind of makes it a wasted pick.

    I really hate that we passed on Whitmore though. 

    A team needs to go at least 9 or 10 players deep for a playoff run. Just because a guy might never be a starter doesn't make it a waste pick. 

    And we had Trae and DJM last year, but that didn't stop our biggest need from being another player who could handle the ball and playmake for others. There is a reason that type of player is who the Hawks targeted in the draft.

    Not sure attempting to address your biggest hole on the roster should be considered a wasted pick, especially outside the lottery.

  2. It's interesting, if you look at Hawks related media Twitter it's full of people that love Bufkin and continually have thrown him flowers the entire summer league. Talking about things like how advanced he is for his age and how many things he already does at a high level, while acknowledging he still has to adjust to the NBA game.

    But then you come here and are mostly told (and i emphasize mostly, not all) that he's a bum that is years away from being a major contributor. 

    I'm really torn on who to believe.

    LOL ok.


    On another note, I was reminiscing about last years trade for Murray. We were first linked that we had interest in Murray by Jake Fischer on the 18th. We closed the deal on the 30th.

    Here is a link to supes posting about Fischer mentioning. I looked before and no, no insiders mentioned it.
