Sad draft board...not so much who but how messy it is... this isn’t a pro team it’s vlade smoking cigarettes and scribbling...

Bagley may end up being good but i can't imagine his rookie year being note worthy.   He feasted on smaller guys in college and mostly showed that he can dunk.   He has skills to learn if he's going to be a great player in the NBA.

I somewhat agree with this outside of his knack for knowing where the rebound is coming off the glass and his athletic ability alone with help with his rebounding in year 1, but as far as crafty scoring or passing, it’ll take a minute.

 

ps Good morning ?

Who is TRob?

Thomas Robinson who's currently a Hawk but he was a top 5 pick by the Kings and a bust.

This play from last game. Trae and John will get tons of attention, leaving our wings wide open, just gotta knock 'em down.

 

 

2 great chances. 1 wide open shot and Trae settled for a too early floater. Great to see this learning lesson early preseason. Either way a W-I-D-E open shot that was took way to quickly and a rebound by Len for a second chance attempt. In game learning lessons while winning handily is a great sign for a young, hungry, humble team.

DeAndre Ayton looked good in the Suns game. King Luka looked against the Asian tthe Mavs played against but let's see how he does against actual NBAplayers.

That quote in bold said it all. He looked but who knows how he will look in the nba on a regular basis. He is pretty good but I do see Trae surpassing him as a star similar to Stephen Curry and Ricky Rubio. Luka is who he is... Trae shows glimpses of his special talents but he still has so much room to grow. History might have repeated itself and again although Luka will be good Trae will be one of the big faces of the nba when it's all said and done. I wouldn't have guessed it but second year doubting Schlenk's picks (John Collins over Harry Giles) glad I was wrong and I wanted Mo Bamba, and De'Anthony Melton this year as my must haves. I still like those players but to see Schlenk pick a new Steph(Young), Klay (Huerter) and Draymond (Spellman) was not only comical but masterful in the fact that he not only said it but did it. We already had Prince, Bembry, Collins and Dorsey and to add a Steph/Nash hybrid in Trae. His vision is ridiculous and the rest will come in time. A better Draymond in Omari ( in three yrs or less) . Laugh now agree later but Draymond hasn't ever impressed me. Omari does... The ???'s are still out on Huerter but if he is anywhere near Klay or Korver for that matter he will still be a deadly weapon for our team.

For the 2nd year in a row I think we got it right! I'm not going to be bias honestly I would say for 3yrs in a row. I'm a big fan of the Taurean Prince and Deandre Bembry picks.

There was a debate in the offseason about who the Hawks shooting coach was/is...

Gaze sliding over would be nice or Bembry to give us another passer on the floor.

Preseason is a good time to experiment with things.

Oh man Huerter would give the young guy the spotlight. That might give him a boost in confidence.
