sillent Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 When Prince, Dorsey, Trae, Spellman, Dedmon, Len, Vince, Baze, Huerter, maybe Collins and Bembry all key in on their shots can be pretty deadly. I wonder when they are going to have that 1st practice where nobody can miss and start making a game out of it? With a squad with this many talented shooters (atleast as they improve) they eventually would have to have some shoot outs in practice. When they really see how deadly/good each other are and really believe in each other and play for each other (which may happen sooner than later) they are going to win alot more games. Everybody's waiting for a savior or saviors via draft/free agency. Ask guys like Prince, Collins, Trae and honestly most of our players they'd tell you they are that savior. We have a confident, hungry - humble, High IQ, young exciting team. Be prepared Hawks fans not for tanking but watching a young championship team from the ground up. We are going to surprise alot of people this year but the most exciting part is we have so much room/potential to get even better for years to come!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBaptist Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I say next year after Trae is a borderline All Star and Prince is a household name and All Star. And we add that 1 HUGE FA pick up and the draft picks from next year. We will be looked at as a team on the rise and to challenge the FEW contenders in the East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBaptist Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Trae will make us exciting to watch and Prince make us relevant with a Star and hopefully add one if FA and JC will provide highlights on Sportscenter to put the league and fans on notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 It is still going to be 5 plus years. This team is still tanking. There aren't any impact veterans on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessir and I think Collins as well as atleast 6 other of our players will be a big part of that as well! 26 minutes ago, AHF said: You need to get your official prediction for this year on record, @KB21!

Silly rabbit. Haven't you heard? The 76ers really didn't make the playoffs last year. They lucked into the 3 seed and because the East was so bad they really did not make the playoffs.

TheFuzz Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think we'll be BAD this year and next year, then start making a push for the playoffs tbh. We're just so young. And honestly, with our timeline, my preference would be to filter our $40M in cap next year into picks by taking on bad expirings one more year. Then let Young, Prince, Collins, Zion (?) and our 2020 pick lead us into the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 3rd year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 NOTE: KB21 has given his unofficial win total @ 18. After our last game, I'll bet he will raise the "official" number to 20 ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Schlenk does not let him walk just because he was drafted by the previous regime. GM's have this irrational obsession with getting "their guys."

GM's have this irrational obsession with getting "their guys." Schlenk has seemed to pull strings on moves in order to favor his development so far so I'm not seeing any indication of that. It would be foolish at best to get hung up on the fact that Budcox drafted him. We need to keep and develop our young talent for the long-term and only let them go in a trade that brings back better assets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been shown time and time again GM's are less likely to resign guys from a previous regime than ones they drafted. I certainly hope Schlenk is not that petty and egotistical but some GM's are believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be flashes, but overall, this will be a very turnover prone team that shoots themselves out of games (intentionally) and also a very, very bad defensive team.
