Deandre has the best Hawk rookie body coming in if anyone since Nique. Can’t remember any other rookie we had coming in with a chance to have a killer body. Oh wait, I forgot my man Willis in 84. It’s been a minute.

[Spud2nique]

Even Willis wasn’t as naturally ripped as Hunter imo in 84, after working out with Haney tho he was basically the Lou Ferrigno of the NBA no doubt.

 

[NBASupes]

Hunter has a tremendous body for a forward

“I was today years old when I realized Cam Reddish is taller than Zion.”

Ya when you look at them on the court Zion looks like the taller ☝ 

[NBASupes]

Cam is looking an inch taller right now than he looked earlier this summer. Looking like 6'9 with shoes

Two great college players we expect to have a positive impact on this years Atlanta Hawks team.  And, actually, there are three draft picks and a young center we traded for.  These "other" players give us depth at center.

Are we expecting too much from these young men as they begin their first year with the Hawks?  Our GM has hit the "flush" button on our roster.  We have more new Hawks than we have returning players, we are told.  Note:  It takes time to change over from good NBA players to a good NBA team.  These young men AND those other players traded for must mesh together. 

We know that it's the dead off season when we see page after page about the new schedule for next season.  Hawks fans are hopeful that our new guys make a difference on defense, our most glaring weakness last season.  Damian Jones, Bruno Fernando, Cam Reddish and De`Andre Hunter will be expected to step right in and shake things up.  We here on Hawksquawk will be on the edge of our seat, watching for these young men to enter the game.  Most other NBA fans from other teams will be asking, "Who plays in Atlanta now?  Didn't they lose all their players?"  Then, as they faintly remember Trae and JC, they dismiss the Hawks.

Are we Hawk fans expecting too much?  Will all these young players let us down?  No!  We believe our GM and our coach know what they are doing.  Before the season comes to an end, NBA fans will know who these Hawks are !!

Hey did you all see this BSPN interview with the rooks? Check it out. Deandre Hunter and Cam both want to face KD and Hunter hopes he can be as good as KD some day. Speak a bit about Vince as well.

 

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (No. 4 overall pick by the Lakers, traded to the Hawks): "I was 2 years old. It'll be crazy. I'll be on his team. He has been playing basketball for my whole life [the day after Hunter was born, Carter scored 11 points in North Carolina's win over Louisville], which is wild. He definitely has a lot of knowledge and knows the game. Just being with a vet like that, you can't ask for anything better than that."

 

Hunter: "I'm looking forward to playing against KD. He was one of my favorite players growing up. I like him as a player. Hopefully, one day I'll be at his level. I just really respect his game and really admire what he does."

 

Cam Reddish (No. 10 overall by the Hawks): "Growing up, I was a big Kevin Durant fan, so I look forward to that matchup. He's just tough. He's got height and to do what he does ..."

 

 

Hunter: "I don't really have a fear. Obviously, the schedule is a lot different. That's the only thing. Just taking care of my body and being able to play night in and night out."

I have a feeling I’m gonna love this cat more than I even imagined at first glance.

Look if Supes is taking Cam to the ball, I’m getting a nice backless for DeAndre!
