Yeah, I think DraftTwitter, at least, buys the shooting from his high school/EYBL days. That's why DraftTwitter has Maxey generally in the 5-10 range, unlike the sourced draft projections.
What did you think of Maxey? I think he's got real sleeper potential. And don't all those UK Cats usually bust out in the NBA after being held back by Cal's system.
I think if Schlenk had taken over a year earlier, in 2016, he could have made those moves and still traded Horford a year or two later to further fuel the rebuild. We wouldn't have lost an asset for nothing.
Hey, at least a busted wristwatch is right two times a day!
I think that a sleeper to do something like this could be Tyrese Maxey. He's a 3 level scorer that also plays defense. He's downgraded only because he's a tad short, kind of like...Donovan Mitchell.
I hope Hunter takes a step forward this year. But otherwise I see him as a backup combo forward, but one that still gets major minutes because of that versatility.
A fair point. I didn't mean any disrespect to John. You're right, tying up cap was more like Bazemore's contract. I think the term "overpay" would be more accurate. But like I said, if John becomes a volume 3 point shooter at his current percentage or greater then it may be a moot point.
I think what makes it tough with John is differentiating what John deserves from what is in the best interests of the Hawks organization. John is just an incredibly great dude. I would wish him the max, because I would wish him the best. But is tying up the cap with a Collins max contract in the Hawks' best interests?
Yeah, there were rumors of a pretty decent package from Denver. Wish we could have known what that was.
I thought I remembered Gary Harris' name being mentioned also.
But I kinda wish we had just signed a Tyler Eifert to take over at TE, rather than giving up a premium pick to get Hayden Hurst, although I am excited to see what Hurst can do in our offense.
This draft is starting to look better and better. Terrell looks plug-n-play. Davidson is a monster. And the two 4th rounder might be ready to contribute more than I thought they would. Drafting a punter really chafes my hide, though.
