Hawks now have 19 players for Training Camp. I think the max is 20. We already have 15 guaranteed contracts plus the two GL players. Thomas and Aldrich - camp contracts.

I see what you did there.

Heeelarrious.

T.C.B.

So I guess it's time to stop nitpicking over a 'cow turd' and 'horse manure', same thing just a different name.

Great Read.

.

The bolded part is commical. You play who gives you the best chance to win a close out game. That was 'Tight sphincter Jeffy.' Are you sure you're reading those stats right, see Mace's post above,

I saw the years and didn't even bother checking the stats.

We are expecting our rookies and 2nd year players to play big minutes - they need Developing and will get that with their NBA team. Or are you saying to send them all to the GLeague to develop. (I know that's not what you are saying ). Our 2 two-way players likely won't get called up unless there are multiple injuries. I can see Huerter and Spelllman being assigned to the GL for a few spot games if they aren't in the regular rotation.

D.O.W. - Development Over Wins.

C'Mon D, you're better than this. Are you seriously comparing 3 years of Dennis vs 8 years for Teague? Again, with the season on the line, Teague....BENCHED.

Not when it mattered most. Shrinking violet.

Meanwhile, the teams Allstar starter was where? Missing in Action. Call Dennis a ball hog all you want, he was Bud's choice over Teague in an elimination game.

This current team doesn't have a proven 'Joe Johnson' alpha scorer with NBA experience.....YET!

No longer a Hawk, but still....

Gotta be another red bird.

I would say...Capable backup since the alternative is Plumlee.

I wouldn't put Len and Formidable in the same sentence.

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller.

Season not even under way as yet, sigh.

Let's go Dream!!!

Entire article.... Why We Should Believe That Trae Young Will Be Just Fine The 6’2 guard led the NCAA in both scoring and assists last season. That’s impressive no matter how you slice it. He dragged an otherwise poor Oklahoma team to the NCAA tournament all while playing in the toughest conference in America. He only shot 36 percent from three and 42.2 percent from the field, however OU didn’t have much talent around him. He faced double teams every night and still went for 27.4 points and 8.2 assists per game. To help explain Young’s average shooting percentage (especially for a guy being hailed as the next Steph Curry,) I’m going to point to a January 20 loss to Oklahoma State. The Sooners fell 83-81 in overtime and Young only shot 35.9 percent from the field. However, he tallied a career high 48 points in that game. No other Sooner scored in double digits. The four starters not named Young combined to shoot 11-of-32 from the field including 3-of-10 and 3-of-11 from Brady Manek and Christian James respectively. If it looked like Young shot too much or was a selfish teammate at times, its because he had to be. In a way, Trae Young is sort of like Lonzo Ball with a jump shot. He has next-level court vision which helped lead to his 8.2 assists per game. Summer League showed us that he might struggle with his jumper at times, but the guy is a flat out playmaker. He’s the kind of guy that can get you 16 points on 3-of-12 shooting because of how he can beat his man off the dribble and get to the basket (and subsequently the foul line). At the very least, his playmaking should make him an alright player in the league.

Exactly. That first year of his contract, his nimbers were bruuutal.
