Well I bought a Cam jersey in July. Honestly though I thought we was getting Tmac or a bigger Ray Allen...not Scottie Pippen/Kobe! Ya, I said it I meant it! I’ll say it again the defense is still a huge surprise to me. Honestly, stereotypically looking at Cam, his appearance tends to make you think he doesn’t D up due to an ultra smooth O game. 

Shout out to you good sir, don’t let Supes hog all the scouting credit lol.

 

His movement always reminds me of KD/ Rudy Gay but he has an edge and team mindset I wouldn’t apply to them.  You can sense him weaving scouting reports into his spatial awareness.  I won’t expect too much in terms of his assist to turn ever being close to 2:1 but the FT shooting should get a nice bump next season.  His peak will earn us 2+ steals per and nearly a block.  When he hits 220 pounds he’s gonna be monstrous.  I love that he likes the midrange.  Pull Up Game like Huggies.

Great assessment! Damn Benhilly when you got ur scrub shades on the side I really like ur ass!

 

Oh, and Supes track record speaks for itself. He does his work I’m not taking anything away from supe man. I was just pro Trae and Cam. My draft board  of 2018 had Doncic all the way and 2019 I dug Cam/Culver/Clarke/Kabengele... still early on all the guys but Cam and Clarke are looking really good right now.

Already have Cam's jersey....it says Drew on it though. Did finally get Trae's so have three official Hawk's jerseys or four depending on how you look at it.

Really cool you have the Drew jersey. My oldest is the Nique and Spud.

Drew

When I read the name though for some reason I think Larry Drew and just get mad at that Giannis intel in 2013

Check out our coach's doo in the background guy. Whole outfit is very Saturday Night Fever. You know who is in the foreground as well as in the background.

Lol!  I heard they pushed Steph back from March 1.  I was hot.  I’m guessing you’re not.

Whiteside will be a challenge but he has no court vision, we should double him at all times.

He was a game changer in the paint last time in Portland. He made Trae change several of his shots. I don't like the Collins match up but whats new about me and small ball? Nothing.

[benhillboy]

I like that Anfernee Simons kid despite his punch face.  Advanced stats hate him currently but I like his confidence.  He don’t give a damn about taking a big shot and he’ll chase a loose ball quick.  Nice off ball movement.

Who else works in the word “potpourri” in a basketball telecast but Clyde Frazier.

As long as he’s there in late March. Trae vs Steph. I not only don’t fear it, I welcome it.

I realized about ten years ago that he’s just showing off at this point. He’s rather use a huge word than ____________.   

 

Pontificate that !  

[Lurker]

Boy there's been multiple airball open 3's...one finally went down before the timeout...and I'm not surprised one was taken because it seems like there was 3 airball open 3's.

Great block by Huerter btw.

[NBASupes]

We been cleanly bricking open shit so far. Come on boys, let's get it together 

[JayBirdHawk]

What's with all these air ball 3s , especially after lighting it up from 3 last game . Settle down guys.

[Cwell]

all I see is 4 guys standing around and Trae over dribbling

[benhillboy]

Yeah, John hops have obviously diminished.  He would’ve cleared Whiteside easily in his PED days.  Damn.

[terrell]

Trae shot off like a mf lately...

[bleachkit]

Wake up boys!
