I think he is more PF than SF.

I figured as much.

If he shoots like this for an entire season, I'll start being concerned. He's been a slow starter in his career all but one season.

I fear I'm going to lose our avatar bet on Trae's 3 point %. Please be gentle

Pretty impressive start so far.

Hence the use of theorized...lol

He showed this in his college park games. Someone theorized he took it because margin of victory matters in the in season tournament and apparently the Hawks want to win it.

Y'ALL DE'ANDRE HUNTER HAD 16 pts 5 REBOUNDS AND 5 ASSISTS!

Ballysports app is crapping out on me and the other means isn't working. Looks like the same old Hawks showed up to play an injured team.

Right on! To be right and so wrong in one post. Oh Boy! I honestly didn't realize I was such a big Jalen stan in the beginning. Screw you Nate! Haha that's what I thought too.

I'm so impressed with what I've seen from Jalen on the defensive end this season. Heck, everything he's brought to the table.

Was @AHF arguing that Trae was as efficient as them for the season or someone calling a game where Trae had a true shooting percentage in the 60's inefficient? It seems like you are debating him on something he did not say.

The Jalen propaganda continues.

I'll attribute that to the dislocated finger on his shooting hand. The dribble is what it is at this point. I like that he is at least attacking the basket much more and making some cuts. I'll attribute that to Quinn.

Don't look now, but Jalen outplayed Mr. Banchero. W

lol I'm done with this trash ass media. I would say national media, but NBA gametime isn't big enough to be considered National. All they are doing is talking about how Trae is basically selfish and can't get his teammates going when he has it going. Any other star drops 41 on good efficiency they'd be praised. They also said he was doing cardio on defense, but tonight I thought he still showed more effort and played good positional basketball. He wasn't the main reason the defense was bad tonight.

It wasn't pretty, but they got the W! 5-3 great fight. This was a tough game. We needed all of Trae's 41. Jalen is really turning into something!

Is it that they are progressive or they've noticed their ratings dip on voting days and just do it for PR purposes?

This is where I'm at. The Hawks missed a ton of open looks. The three balls needs to get around 36% for this offense to truly take off.

Had to pick my mouth up off the floor.

Watched the game on delay tonight. The Ballysports app crapped out with like 3 minutes to go. This was a very solid team win. New Orleans has been a top 5 defense this year I believe and the Hawks dropped 123 on them easily with an injured Dre and the three not falling. The defense this game impressed me the most. The Hawks are having really good defensive quarters whereas last year that would rarely happen. Trae - There's a debate in this thread about him. All I know is he's playing some really good defense this season and that's all I care about. His shots will start falling and he's going to be right were his normal average is, around 25 pts and 10+ assists again. DJ - People will focus on his offense, but his defense and rebounding were great this game. This season he's really stepped up on the defensive end and that's what the Hawks really need if they expect to not be in the play-in. Dre - I didn't expect much from him offensively after the finger injury, but I'm loving the effort this season. He's rebounding at a much higher rate than year's past. JJ - Mannnn! Where do I begin. Nate should be in Jail! You can literally see this kids confidence growing and the shooting has been a plus. I'm looking forward to see if he can turn into an All-star caliber player. Clint - Fantastic game. No missed bunnies and the defense was great. OO - Finally locked up his bugaboo Valanciunas. Great game from him and getting his first couple of threes of the season. Bey - Really plays hard. Bogi - Off night, but stepped up when the Hawks were reeling. AJ - No minutes. Hopefully Quin has a development plan for him and he's not out of Quin's good graces. Quin - Brought a modern offensive and defensive system to our young team and it's like night and day. Starting to believe we won't be in the play-in this year, but don't want to get ahead of myself. Last year really broke my faith in the Hawks. Sorry for the novel.

Yeah, I like them too. Am I the only one not really excited about this? I guess the newness of it, but the format doesn't really make much sense to me. Maybe it's just me because I haven't read up on it.
