He's been solid overall. JC is good, Trae is good, Hunter is good. Heurter is solid. Missed on Cam, Spellman and OO.

He's been bad all year from 2. Maybe not awful but bad. 

I am still mad at trading Devonte Graham 

Schlenk acts like hes afraid of upsetting Trae by drafting another young pg..smh

Yea, no kidding. Taking a non shooting undersized big #6. Just bad. 

With an injured toe..I really dont get it..As bas as we needed a backup pg/secondary playmaker..I guess there's always next draft...

It's way too early to say he missed on OO or Cam. Hunter was in that missed lane clearly just last season. Spellman is a late 1st guy. Those guys are usually hit or miss.

It was the cost value considering JC status, it made sense. OO had the best metrics for a freshman big since AD.

The biggest issue I see about OO is he doesn't look anywhere near as good of a shooter as I saw potentially at USC

And thats a problem for a PF in Hawks offense...

I agree. He saw him working in that three point shot before we picked him and it had potential. Where is it now? Idk. He's also not making FTs the way I expect. We will see, his defense is impressive overall in general.

"Missed on OO" after 6 or 7 games lol. Obviously too early to give up on Cam as well.

Agreed..It Doesn't really matter either way, because if the Hawks miss the Playoffs this year LP is gone, and if we miss again next year, Schlenk is gone..So...........................................................................Ressler is tired of losing.....

How is OO going to score? His offensive game looks absolutely brutal.

He has taken 18 whole shots and made 9 of them. I don't know how you're trying doom his entire career based on that. He has played 7 games in his career, he's been injured for the majority of the time since he's been drafted, and he has had barely any practice. He's not really part of the offense yet. Give it time.

Last year, Hunter trade was considered the worst reach of all time and Hayes was a better rookie the analytics said. We got no patience

Id love to sign Mike Conley this summer.

Fun Fact: Conley is number 1 in the NBA in NET Raptor rating and WAR in the NBA this year. Yes, not Lebron, not Kawhi. or AD, or Jokic. Conley.

This was a bad loss, and I'm not sure what happened.  The Hawks were in control of the game, and I got up to change the baby's diaper and give him his medicine.  When I cam back, The Hawks were only up by 6 points and Tim Hardaway Jr was going nuts.
