I’m real intrigued with Leonard Miller as well. There are so many players I like available in the range the Hawks pick it’s ridiculous. I don’t know if this year is deep with star talent, but it’s definitely wide with good, serviceable talent with potential. This is a good draft year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud2nique Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I’m still stuck to this dude if we stand pat at 15. Hawkins the Hawk.. Jordan Hawkins shapes up as an excellent shooter who is solid on the defensive end. His limitations primarily surround an inability to do a whole lot with the ball in his hands, which will be just fine with the Hawks given the build of their current roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally clicked on this thread to see the final "favorite" before the actual draft. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelicans one pick sooner broke my heart. Funny because the Pelicans took a rookie I was all over for us a couple years back in Trey Murph III. 2020- OO 2022- AJ Still got a couple my boys the last few years. Can’t get them all but I will say this: Hawkins is gonna be a baller. @AHF Do you think we would have selected him had the Pels passed on him? Guess we will never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure guess from my end whether we would have taken him or KB. I do know I was primed to be excited about Hawkins after looking into him following your posts. I wasn't for Bufkins and given the overlap between him and DM it was hard to feel excited last night. But this was probably the draft I did the least looking into so I don't put much stock in my own reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The icing on the cake was the BSPN announcer chick tryna sound smart and insightful by squinting real hard and saying Hawkins "..... has some Jeremy Lamb" in his game. I guess she wanted everybody to go 'oooh' and 'ahhhh, that's another UCONN guy, wowzers'. Sweetheart (in my condescending sexist voice, don't punch me, jayb) .. that ain't a compliment .....
