the move at 1:40 even guys like Harden aren't getting that off Doncic knows how to shield the ball from defenders when driving by using his body which is a very underrated skill to have when your'e not the most athletic. I'm not saying Luka will have Harden's exact game but a lot of the step back elements with a bully inside game using his frame to back down smaller and even larger guards similar to what he does to KP at the :40 and 1:40 marks.

:40 1:40 2:00 all against or over KP

He drives right past and finishes over 2 nba players 1 that is seen as a future star the other played valuable minutes for a Western conference playoff team he has plenty of athleticism is my only point imo.

I never made the comparison I said a lite version who is a similar athlete you are just saying Harden is a significantly better athlete because he is black See I’m just gunna have to disagree with you and we will see who is right in 10 years.

how often do you see James Harden beat his man in front of him using speed and quickness... I think he is every bit the athlete Harden is. Not saying he will ever be as good as Harden but a lite version is what I see in Doncic

Collins averaged more fouls per 36 than JJJ as a freshman and it's been relatively corrected in a year I'm not worried.

Feel for game really... Bagley looks lost on defense and was so bad Coach K moved to a 2-3. I'm much more worried about Bagley's defense than JJJ's offense at worst he is Dedmon on offense with DPOY upside and I'm okay that.

I don't see 50 attempts as a large enough sample size combined with a low ft% to say the shot will translate. Josh Jackson shot 38% from 3 in college with a low ft% and shot below 30% his first year. JJJ is a significantly more accomplished 3pt shooter and shooter overall shooting a respectable 79% from the line and 39.6% from 3 on nearly double the attempts in much less minutes than Bagley. I think both will be good I just like a defensive big who is a better shooter over rebounding and athleticism. Also love the fact JJJ can play late with the ft% unlike Bagley 62% is straight up terrible.

If Bagley shoots 40% from 3 next year I'll eat it but Bagley is a significantly worse shooter than JJJ ft numbers help show that look at Josh Jackson's 3pt% in college. Also wanted to say that I think JJJ is a center in the NBA an Izzo continually played him with Nick Ward which was a bad fit. Izzo isn't a perfect coach they lost with a lot of talent.

We quit on a guy who took a 60 win team to a team with a negative plus minus each of the last 2 seasons. I like Bud as a coach but rebuilding I believe was and is the right move and if Bud isn’t on board at 7 mill a year he has to go.

I didn't think Dennis would reach 20 and 7 consistently on a winning team before this year lmao. his 3pt shot is to awkward to ever consistently shoot 35%+ from 3 imo unless he completely redoes his shot.

Bud maybe not the best at player development however, it is for sure a strength of his and is why he wasn't let go from the beginning. I agree with KB that Dennis will probably never average those stats consistently on a winning team.

no management decided to tank.

Give me an example of a president being demoted to just coach and being around long term lol this should have been expected the contract salary is what killed us no one wants Bud for what he was making.

Still think they are losing in the first round?

Why do you hope we lose Bud? He is great at talent development and whoever we hire odds are he will be much worse than Bud.

KB still think the 76ers are losing in the first round?

Bud is a top 10 coach in the NBA. If he is gone next season it will be extremely tough to find a coach of his caliber to replace him. IMO arguably the best coach the hawks have ever had.

My only hesitation is he is literally a better Collins so the fit is terrible Bagley averaged less than 1 bpg in 33 mpg and Collins averaged only 1.1 as a rookie our rim protection would be putrid at best lol.

If he wants out trade him but we need good compensation. Regardless I doubt anything happens until the lottery.

As someone who works for the Braves I can tell you a lot of people are excited about how we are playing but chill we aren't even in first in our conference hell our division right now and Ozzie, Dansby, and Flaherty still have to keep the hot bats with Acuna being the star everyone thinks he can be. Tanking works in all sports but using the braves is bad considering through the 90s they were a top 5 organization and can be made an argument top 3 so the pedigree is there. I do think it would be interesting if the hawks end up with Porter and decide to sit him ala 76ers for a year to maximize the loses next season while he gets with the team and the NBA lifestyle.

Dude Grant Hill is a partial owner and on the board I doubt just Schlenk brought the idea. Every owner/GM talks up players like that especially when management is changing. I also believe you don’t build a net worth where Ressler is being weak minded.
