Aye Spud! Why you use the pornstar spelling of divine instead of the traditional?? 

 I thought I was the only one that caught that.  But hey, I only tune in for the cinematography, of course.

He's so much better than Collins (post injured finger) it's crazy.  His overall impact is huge.  Better defensively, better passer, better ballhandler.    Addition by subtraction.

SSS caveats all around but JC is really having a good start to the year on the boards but a terrible one shooting the ball.  Very interested to see how the full season plays out for him.  One interesting (again small sample so conclusions to draw as of now) item I've noticed is that JC seems to have worse +/- numbers every game than Lauri despite both of them playing >30mpg and both of them starting.

Wait a second is this a trap ? You instructed me never to click on anything! Is this you on YouTube comin straight outta compt.. the sac? Seriously JJ is bad boy. Do you remember the dude we worked out in the Horford draft that ended up being picked by the Warriors, Brandon Wright from the North Carolina? Anyhoo all the scouts described him in his scouting report as “runs the court like a deer “…

He did with his long step gliding but had like versatility or sticktoitiveness. 
 

Jalen runs the floor like a with skills to score but more importantly be able to recognize his limits and make GOOD/GREAT passes. 
 

No, JJ is for real and I slept on him..

More of these kind of plays/players from the post/front court is what we need.

I know people questioned me earlier when I said Jalen has star potential but I stand by that. We simply cannot trade him unless we get a superstar back in return.

Hey, JJ's mine.  I'll fite you for him.

People around the league are giving Jalen his proper due especially seeing how the Hawks struggled without him.  But I wished his name had more ring to it to differentiate him from the 15 other Jaylen/Jaylin/ Jaelyn/ Jalen/ Jay-Lin/J’Lens in the league (am I missing a spelling lol).   Nothing like Gradey d*ck tho.  His middle name shortened to Ty Johnson is decent

You mean you wouldnt trade him for Jae Crowder? 

That has to be the worst trade idea Ive seen here.... 

And then it was AJ > than JJ.. My Goodness...

That's the new Chris or John these days.

He should be on the market but as you said, we need a legit star in return. 

[Gray Mule]

Check back.  I said JJ would be good.

I wouldn't trade him, even, for Siakam.

I have to admit, this was a hell of a prediction. If he gets 25+ minutes a game, here will be his numbers:

12.2 ppg - 7.4 rebs - 3.7 asst - 1 8 blks  - 1.1 stls 

48% FG - 33% 3FG - 77% FT

 

As of 1/1/2024

 

14.6 ppg - 8.1 rebs - 2.7 asst - 0.9 blks - 1.0 stls

59% FG - 41% 3FG - 77% FT

I think the Trae to JJ alley oop is going to be something special this season. 

JC was outstanding.  But Jalen brings even more athleticism to that play.

Im thinking more like a top 25 PF would be a huge success for him next season.

His realistic peak is something like a top 10 PF someday.

 

 

Currently #10 in the league in overall NBA production efficiency

The Hawks should absolutely not trade JJ.  You keep him and add whatever talent you're bringing in to pair with JJ.
