His numbers at Duke were also abysmal. Dude has been a mystery for a while now. Honestly never seen a guy put up such miserable production overall but every once in a while look like a better version of Paul George.

 

 

At Duke too, every once in awhile Cam would go off in practice and everyone would be in awe. Then he would go ice cold for some reason.

Stop saying that shit. I watched every game. He was going through major injuries. I posted his stats during the season.

A lot of his struggles came after the first UNC game where he got hurt. 

In the NCAA tournament, he shot the ball extremely well. I wish you would stop saying this shit.

What is wrong with Deandre Hunter? 

Hes a rookie forced to play way too many min. He made the pass of the night and played some good D. He'll be fine imo..

Hope so, only silver lining I see is he has been out in a terrible position from the get go, so hopefully next year with what I will assume is a much improved roster he will be more in his comfort zone and become a viable wing for us.

He has a nice mid range game. He should take more of those.

He's a small forward ideally right?

Has there ever been a more confounding player than Reddish on offense? If he can figure whatever it is that holds him back most nights dude has All Star potential no doubt about it. On Hunter: All he does is make me wish we had kept the two picks we gave up for him. Hope he can develop. And on our center situation, if we have to overpay for a Steven Adams/Drummond/Whiteside or whatever I don't care. Bring someone in ASAP. Seeing Collins play center is going to give me an ulcer, and it's no knock on Collins because I think his effort on defense is night and day compared to last year and he has battled hard, but he simply wildly out of position at center. 

What about HUnter playing PF? YOu get an ulcer from that too? lol. Give the kid some time. He missed shots, but he had a decent game overall. imo.

Yes. He's been playing PF with Collins at center. When we get a legit center,  he'll fit in nicely..

Problem with Hunter is he has been awful at SF too. And the mismatch at PF should affect the defense more than the offense anyway. I will admit I only saw the first quarter and the last 8 mins tonight, so maybe he had a better night than what my impression was, but overall have not been a fan of his game at all, especially the last month or so. Looked better early on to me.

The Trae Young disrespect is unreal!  It's why I took a small sabactical from realgm.

Ja is a better dunker than Trae, I'll give him that.

You do realize Ja is just the favor of the month and they are doing this in a trolling way. It is annoying especially when Trae is the most doubled player in the NBA.

Rookies go through ups and downs offensively. Have you watched Cam on offense this year? Especially when youre asked to guard the other teams best player as a rookie, on top of playing too many min..

I think that thread just gave me cancer. Avoid the RealGM General board if you want to hold on to your brain cells. Those guys are clueless about the Hawks and refuse to budge on their clearly wrong takes.

Trae is averaging 29 and 8.5 on solid efficiency. You could make the case that the year Trae is having is better statistically than any year in Allen Iverson's career.

As far as guys that are 6'2ish" or under go, Ja is one of the most explosive dunkers I have ever seen.

I'm a fan of Ja.  I just think the comparison is crazy.  Ja is prime time though.  Enjoy watching his passion and play style. 

 

On a side note: Cam Reddish is shooting 40% on threes in January 2020 :).
