Ayton, Capela, or Gobert

[macdaddy]

Seems like we talk a lot about Ayton, Gobert and Capela.  I think none of those guys are going to be a Hawk after this year.  I would think OO would be our starting center but sure would be nice to have Brook Lopez type to come off the bench.

You been copying off my paper?  He ain't a bench player tho.

No but anyone attainable in the mold will be.   They don't grow on trees.

Thanks.  Gives a good perspective.

I'm still holding a tiny candle for Brooky Lopez.

How about Sengun?  If Harden and Capela reunite in Houston

Isn't Sengun a no-brainer keeper for Houston?

Probably.  

[givemesome1ce1]

The answer for best center is obviously Okongwu because he’s athletic,young,will shoot threes soon, and will be a top 5 center next season.

 

out of those three choices…it’s Capela. Ayton had a game where he grabbed 2 rebounds. That’s pathetic. Gobert has rock hands. At least Capela can grab the ball. Capela is great and has a manageable contract. Capela all day

They ain’t getting rid of the big skilled Turk. Not unless we pony up a lot. He and Trae would be unbelievable. I’m not the one with the huge man crush on him tho  he’s really good tho, I’ll take him over Alice.

We need a strong rebounding PF that can shoot 3s more than anything right now.

For what it's worth, I haven't lost all faith that it can still be JC.  His shot is coming back and he can try to put on some weight this offseason.  He started this season looking famished -- remember those summer league clips??  I don't know what was going on with him, but I am hopeful he can rebound if we don't trade him away.

I love JC but we can't run it back right?   What changes are we going to make?  Or are you suggesting we just shore up the bench?

IMO we can run it back for the most part.  I think Saddiq is a meaningful addition, and I think there were at least 5-10 games we could have won this year if we had Snyder at the helm.  If we find a good value trade, sure, go for it -- but I think a meaningful offseason of work under Snyder and a modern offensive/defensive scheme will go a long way for the roster we have.  We need to revisit conversations about Trae playing off ball and getting open looks from three, because I'm hopeful Snyder can make that happen (I never had faith Nate could).

I hope you're right.  I like our guys but seems like we not be as strong as we thought we were 2 years ago.  Even if we believe in Trae/DJ we can't start guys at 3-5 who are just average NBA starters.  Then we're just the dame/cj blazers or the wall/beal wiz.   Someone at those positions has to have an elite skill.

I’ll say this. I’ve been as big of a Horford hater there is since his exit. But if I am speaking truth, he would be a perfect big to pair with OO. Maybe not going forward, but Al of a few years ago would’ve been. 
Look at me, @NBASupes giving your boy some love!

Gasp!  Who would have believed it?  Capela has been making those line drive free throws!!  You can't make this up because no one would believe it.  But it's true !!

Going from 47% to 61% is pretty significant improvement.

He's  currently at 60% from the freethrow line, needs 65% to meet his 500k incentive. At a minimum, He'll need to take at least 17 freethrows over the next 5 games and make all of them to get to 65%.
