BINGO!!!  This is what they are thinking.

Please see my response to KB and give your thoughts on it.

I like being contrarian but look, if you weren't impressed by Zion's game vs Kentucky, you're being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. I reviewed it again this morning and in that game he had multiple dribble drives in where he looked very comfortable dribble driving, and the block where he basically took the ball away from a Kentucky player, drove, and passed for a layup was incredible.

I may end up still being contrarian on who I'd like (and it might not matter in the end), but I'd support drafting Zion for sure at this moment. Outside of what I've said about Reddish already (I was also impressed by his Kentucky game), I've also been impressed by Bol Bol, like what I've read about Romeo Langford (as I said I've not really gotten into things prospect wise, might get better at it later), and have liked what I've seen from Daniel Gafford.

So they picking Zion and Barrett with their #1 pick? ?

Zion goes #1 to Cavs
Barrett goes #2 to Bulls

That's fine, because I like Reddish's fit with the team more with his frame, defense, and three point shooting.

I think you are spot on with the way Schlenk thinks when drafting these players. Reddish to me is also more of a Schlenk guy than Zion and Barrett. Personally I like all 3 and I believe they will all fit with Trae and Collins.

Prince is not a keeper to me on this team like I once thought.

What if Hawks don't get a top 5 pick and he goes #3 to a team like Mavs.

I like Prince when he’s not trying to be a point forward. Need a secondary ball handler behind Trae.

The Hawks will have the worst record in the NBA, so they will not pick lower than 5.

Then Hawks need to run out a lineup of Young, Huerter, Prince, Spellman, Len and try to lose every game left. Come to Papa Zion/Barrett/Reddish.

Wish it was being that smooth clever. It’s just selfishness over pride, hyperfocusing on getting 1 of those 3 potential studs ?

[sturt]

This might have already been said, but one month into the season, and I'm just going to be happy to see the first two finally get on the court at the same time again.

 

And.

Don't go to sleep on Doumbouya.... emphasis on BOOOOOU-YAAAAAAAAAA. :D

To me a generational player is a player you can throw on any team and have a finals contender.

Yes sir! Honestly we end up with a SG or SF if we don’t land Zion imo we good either way.

1. Zion pf

2. Barrett sf

3. Reddish sf

4. Little sf

5. Langford sg

 

2-5 is the sweet spot where we land our wang as @kg01 often says. We are in the drivers seat ? here...enjoy the ride kids!

If he slips out of the top 5, hoping for Sekou with that Mav’s pick. It would probably need to be 6th to pull it off. But in that case Mavs would be desperately tanking down to 5 to keep it. Ping pong balls are going to be VERY interesting this offseason ?

Barrett can play the 2 as well. Reddish can practically play the 2, 3, and 4. Can’t pass on Zion if he’s there, but man Reddish could really be something too.

Yup...for me as of now and prolly everyone else is Zion 1st.

Cant deny Reddish with Trae would be a start of something very very sweet.

Im currently having a problem seeing the entire talents of Barrett. Usually a consensus top 2 pick shows you something fabulous, some crazy skill that separates them, I can’t point to that with Barrett. I think I need to watch more film on him.

Zion, Reddish, Langford fit in nicely with us.

Barret and Little a little ? less to me but they are incredible talents and I’d love to get either of those as well.

Honestly this is like going to a candy ? shop. Pick ur favorite lolly Haze! Hell, grab 2! (Second one isn’t on me..Cuban’s got that one).

Ps First ? from top shelf

second ? one shelf lower

I want reddish. No one else. He is a baby Tmac and let's all hope he continues to get slept on
