I usually don’t make directly comparison individual threads but this dude needs to step up.

Hunter has the body, needs more heart.

Drop the nice guy BS and ball bro.

MarHUNT SUXXXXX. Fool’s gold.

You know what throw us off about him, his body. We think he can do more with it but he might as well be paper machete.

Hunter may be BECOMING Marv, but Young is ALREADY Russell Westbrook. lmao

In no way whatsoever.  

Trae Young TS% this year:  .568%.   Career:  .580%

Westbrook TS% this year:  .496%.  Career:  .526%  (career high .554%)

 

Trae is also a much better passer and Westbrook a much better rebounder.  Just a very inapt comparison, imo.

Neither one of those selfish players is gonna win a championship.

Trae’s best comp is Allen Iverson IMO. A valuable player if the right team (defensive minded) is built around him.

Westbrooks BBIQ is bottom of the barrel and he relies on physical capabilities.

This site has some [ideas that I see no support for]. Comparing Westbrook to Trae. Comparing Marvin to Hunter.

Nor did John Stockton, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Gary Payton, etc.  Regardless of who wins a ring, best not to draw false equivalences between players who are not much alike.

Iverson is a garbage comparison, IMO, for much the same reason.  Iverson was a grossly inefficient scorer for his career and an unexceptional passer.  Trae has been a quite efficient scorer for his career (this season standing as a low point) and is a gifted passer.  Iverson's career best TS% is worse than Trae's TS% this season.  He was .518% TS% for his career versus .580% TS% for Trae.

If you want to compare Iverson and Westbrook, then I'm on board with that.  I see a lot more reason to compare those two.  The gap between .526% TS% and .518% TS% is not that significant.  The gap between .580% TS% and those numbers is huge.

That’s not very nice Supes. Why the name calling. You just said in another thread last week that you went overboard with me and now this? Comon baby, you’re better than that.

Marbury and Trae but have a emptiness to their games where they put up consistent numbers but can they play team ball much less winning ball. Both players are exceptional talents.

Bey was a top 3 prospect for me including OO and Vassell in 2020. 
 

Bey is better than Hunter, period.

 

[MarylandHawk]

I have seen a marked difference in the energy and effort from Dre since McMillan left.  I like the way he has been playing lately. I am a bit lower on Dre than most, but I will step up and say it when his is doing what is expected and more. 

[theheroatl]

If Dre shot the 3 ball in streaks like Bey he would be invaluable to us.

keep it up!

Thanks a lot for the jinx Grant Shirley.  After your call out, Hunter has shot under 40% in 3 of his 7 games played and his last 5 has him scoring in single digits once, shooting below 40% twice, and only scoring 14+ in 2 out of the 5 games.

I keep coming back to this.

Hunter got a strong body like Marv but just like Rondo bullied Marv in the playoffs, Hunter is gonna get picked on if not already.

Dude is mechanical like Marv. Basketball is a game of rhythm n flow (including the way your body contorts itself). Hunter is so darn mechanical in his movements that his body becomes weak when fighting for loose balls and even making offensive moves.

I’m really getting tired of Hunter.

 

SPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE BEY!!!!

I’m advocating a trade for Hunter this summer to get him out of Atlanta.

There’s nothing anyone in the nba can do about Tatum. I think we have to get over this and just hope hunter improves overall.

can’t base things off of this matchup vs Tatum.

No I get that but unfortunately it’s not just Tatum. He seems to struggle against many of his counterparts. I hope I’m wrong, he does show glimpses but it’s like Forest Gump said, “you never know what you gon’ get. (Not chocolate in this but his overall performance on both ends.

 

He does have a pretty shot I just hope Korver helps him release the ball quicker, his release is super slow because he’s so mechanical.
