comon like you can’t see him as a co star ️ to a Depp or Kief Sutherland. One of them just take his whiny ass in a kidnap scenario and just say and start whaling! @Thomas it may be time for that cat to drag me away for the day.  

Maybe similar to the night watchman at the amusement park in Lost Boys?

Let’s co produce this thing! You got something special about you T. Let me sick Tarantino mind ride! 
 

ps Danny Bonaduce just called he wants the Kiefer, Kevin Bacon, Depp role.

Improvement from three is more than apparent and if month long samples count than this is very promising. Has improved on both ends of the floor this season. This summer is the weight room and work on his handles no doubt. If folks are into stats then here you go and if the eye test counts more than watch more than one game.

Cam Reddish 3-point shooting by month: October: 1 for 18 (5.6 pct) November: 12 for 43 (27.9 pct) December: 18 for 58 (31.0 pct) January: 16 for 39 (41.0 pct)

I like Clarke’s upside better as well.  For Cam to even come close to hitting this theoretical upside some of you have placed on him, he’s going to have to start doing things he has never shown to be capable of doing such as finishing at the rim, becoming a better decision maker with the ball in his hands, becoming a more consistent perimeter shooter....etc.

To me, Clarke is a great athlete who is showed elite level rim protection in college.  He has the ability to defend 1-5, and there was some untapped perimeter shooting equity in his game based on his college days.  

Clarke is basically a finished product man. Cam has upside through the roof and is over 3 years younger. It's not a debate...

While debating the recent draft is exciting and invigorating (as well as a comedic stimulus for @Spud2nique), here is a tweet regarding Trae and the 4th quarter debacle last night.

Damn Nurse and Lowry.

Unforgettable weekend indeed. Trae put us back on the NBA map 🗺 after 5 years! Let’s go!

Ya for sure! Personally I remember a few great all star weekends. 85,86,87,88,94,98, 05 (Smoove dunk contest), 2015 (the crew what a January) and 2020!

Yep!

No matter what anyone says....Trae represented for these Hawks. Job well done!

Hopefully he's made meaningful connections and learned a few things to help himself and the team going forward!

It takes a legit skillset  to continuously find something negative to say in response to positive posts.

At this point you just have to ignore the noise/hate.
 

This was my favorite All Star Weekend. 15’ was special too because of the overall season, but our guys didn’t really do anything memorable beside check in to the game together at one point. 
Trae is a lightning rod for eyes and attention. One day he is going to be our most popular player outside of just Hawks fans, right up there with Nique.

He is already easily the most popular Hawk outside of Hawks fans since Nique.

The fact that his fan vote was as high as it was is a testament to that. It’s great to play for Lakers, Boston, Dallas, etc. Their fans are rabid! I really didn’t realize how popular (and equally unpopular) Trae was. Fortunately there wasn’t a thumbs down vote for people who are Traetors. If there was he may have been zeroed out

Forgive me if I don’t consider individual accomplishments as a positive when there is nothing remotely positive about the success of the team.  

Then I’d suggest staying away from the thread that is all about his all-star appearance if your only intent is to reiterate complaints that you’ve already made many times in other threads.

In year two of a rebuild it's awesome that we have a 21 year old starting and excelling in the all star game.   Number 1 on the list was getting a star player.  We've done that.    Thanks Trae!

Note that the discussion on team building is moving to here:

I only really watched All Star Saturday night (and about 15-20 minutes of two teams trying to get to 157 points while kind of WTF'ing at Nurse's lineup) but it's nice for me to see that Trae had a good time.

He might not have advanced in the 3 point contest, but that thing actually got pretty intense late in it and the dunk contest was pretty good. That night was really worth getting absorbed into.
