The second unit needs someone who can run the offense If Nate isn't going to play Cooper, maybe he should send Bogi to the second unit that way both Bogi and Huerter could take pressure off Wright trying to handle the ball. Delon could then look to attack more on the offensive end.

Tired of Capela missing easy put backs, can't make a free throw to save his life.

Has any reporter asked Nate why Delon has not been receiving any minutes? I haven't listened to the post game interviews lately.

A good bit of those players are or were recently part of "Big 3" Basketball. I guess Joe and Josh were smart enough to stay out of this scheme.

Okay

Sounds like Goodwin is being immature about not being able to play. The Hawks medical staff job is to keep you safe & Healthy they are not going to " bend" just because you say you are feeling well now.

I guess Cabarrot is still stuck in France with Visa issues?

Is it safe to say Jahlil is Jabari Parker with no Athletic ability?

Why not bring in someone decent now if they are available? It doesn't have to be Hamilton it could be someone else, Hartenstein etc. I just don't like being thin at a position, but that's just my opinion on it.

I don't think Hamilton needs to blow everyone's mind to get an NBA deal, just be able to rebound and play some solid defense. I doubt he is looking for a G League deal since he played there in 18/19 season. If he is that bad, then Shlenk needs to bring in another "big" because Capela & Dieng alone will not suffice until OO gets back. We never know when Capella might get injured or have to miss some games.

Teams are starting to sign players for camp deals. Maybe by the end of the week Atlanta adds the last 2 players for camp. Hopefully 1 of those will be another Big who can compete with Hamilton for that last roster spot. Johnny seems decent enough to hold down the 3rd string center position till Okungwu gets ready. Would love to have He & Hartenstein battle for that non-guaranteed deal.

Happy Birthday.

A big that can play the 4 or 5 position

I still think the Hawks should add another Center. We got Dieng, but you never know if Capela may have to miss some games. We should lock up Isaiah Hartenstein to a vet minimum deal.

Supes is there any info yet from your source on what the Hawks plan to do with their pick?

I would prefer Trey Murphy over Ziaire Williams if choosing a 3/4 Forward.

Looks like Coach Nate is starting to add his "new" assistants to his staff. Per HoopsHype: Jake Fischer: Longtime assistant coach Joe Prunty and former Pelicans player development assistant Jamelle McMillan are expected to join Chris Jent on the front of Nate McMillan’s bench in Atlanta next season, per league sources. Jamelle, McMillan’s son, spent 7 years with New Orleans. 39 mins ago – via Twitter JakeLFischer

After watching highlights on him, I think he has the most upside & versatility that we can get a 20. I feel we can get a backup PG that fits our needs in the 2nd round with guy like Nix & Washington Jr most likely being available.

I wouldn't mind picking up Daishen Nix in the 2nd round, even if we have to move up 4 or 5 slots to get him. I know he is a poor 3 point shooter and not very athletic but he is 6'4 225 with very good passing ability. He is someone that could play next to Trae in the Future. He can be taught to improve his 3 point shot.

Finally some Hawks Pre draft News: via Twitter ChrisKirschner Chris Kirschner: Prospects (so far) I’ve heard Hawks have/will work out: Ayo Dosunmu Daishen Nix Kessler Edwards Cam Thomas Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Josh Christopher Joel Ayayi David Duke Joel Wieskamp Luka Garza Moses Wright Justin Champagnie Sandro Mamukelashvili John Petty JT Thor Carlik Jones

Good stuff, I wanted to know your opinion on Dashien Nix, as far as his future potential. Haven't heard any one critique him yet.

Seems like Sharife Cooper is popular among a lot of posters. I think he is a good player but don't know if he is right for the Hawks. I am not too concerned about his size as more of him thinking he is "The Man" already. I don't see him playing behind Trae more than a year or two before he will want to start. Watching his interview with Mike Schmitz I can just tell that even though he seems like a "Good Guy" he still has a bit of cockiness about him, I don't see him playing 2nd fiddle to Trae for too long. It would be similar to the Reggie Jackson when he got tired of playing behind Westbrook. Oh yeah, he also unintentionally slighted the city of Atlanta. Mike Schmitz asked him about his "Game" he brings to the court and he said something along the lines of I think I bring that New Jersey style of play to the court. Cooper's family moved to Atlanta when he was 6 years old. Better put some respect on the Atlanta & the state of GA.

I also wanted to say it seems like Lou needs a decent amount of minutes 20-25 minutes to be effective. It seems like he can't find his groove when he is only playing sparse minutes.

I think that he should have been pulled after it was evident that he wasn't himself (missing so many 3 pointers and even a few free throws). However, Nate let him go out on his sword, because he knew how important it meant to Trae to be out there with the team in a do or die situation.
