Popular Post TheFuzz Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Alright, Taurean, looking forward to seeing you play. You're gonna fit Bud's system like a glove, you play with some serious heart and we'll notice eventually. Forgive the peeps hating on the pick, we're used to being disappointed in Hawks land so much so that people don't know a good thing when they got it. Just ball dude. I know you will. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankWhite Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Honestly, at some point just by the law of averages the Hawks have to hit on one these damn picks. Why not this one? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Thinking Prince will earn some minutes fairly soon. Hoping so. Welcome aboard Taurean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Bud likes playing vets over younger guys, hopefully he makes a special case with Prince. Can't teach size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLiott Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Dear Taurean, I hope you don't like winning titles because that will not happen here. PS Stupid first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I have a question? I've heard all the DMC comparisons to this kid, and I get it - both dark skinned, dreads, plays SF. I've just watch some videos (yes I'm moving on from you know who) and 4 things stood out: he's more athletic than DMC, he has waaaay better handles than DMC which was disastrous, he has deep range on his 3pt shot, he had a few post moves on smaller players. So my question is - who is his NBA comparison OTHER than DMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we reached for him but the more I think about it, the more I realize that if you want a guy in the draft, it doesn't matter where you get him, in the end, it just matters that you got him. Best fan favorite since Zaza from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only watched 5 minutes of highlights and read a description of his strengths / weaknesses . So my opinion highly suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd79 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Price already 9th on rookie ladder 9. Taurean Prince, Atlanta Hawks Prince could become the 2016-17 version of Denver's Nikola Jokic (albeit at a different position): a solid contributor on a team with bigger names, producing in several areas without posting gaudy numbers anywhere. Prince will defend, is projected to become at least a decent 3-point threat and maybe more, and has the benefit of playing four years at Baylor. Plus, playing a big role on a good team, if it happens, would look especially good during the actual season. Edited July 4, 2016 by rd79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Someone from this board mentioned prince back in either December or January I want to say it was @Diesel but I don't remember for sure. Whoever it was I started paying attention to Prince from the time he was mentioned and caught a good amount of his games. The guy plays with so much energy that's why I believe he's compared to DMC! Outside of basketball skills this man energy is off the charts like dmc and his skills top off his energetic play. He's not going to come in being better than DMC by any means unless he really surprises us but can he start from day one? ....yes I can realistically see that! He has the SF height and frame. He can hit the 3, play good defense (at college level I'm sure he can transition that to the NBA) , and he's a true hustler....I wanted him with either pick. Don't blame bud for getting this guy he knows what he got in him. he has the fan favorite like play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Faried He's a shorter version of Faried . . . with a jumpshot and handles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
