AUhawksfan Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Who do the Hawks keep around? Seems like we have a good problem on our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 11, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Last year, we took the full complement of 20 contracts to camp. I doubt this year will be any different. Jack will have competition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hey guess what, guys?! I think ESPN has now aired as many Hawks summer league games as they did regular season Hawks games last year! Moving up in the world! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithSentinel Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I haven't been able to watch any of the SL games yet. I see NBATV has our game tomorrow at 4:30 vs Nets. Not sure if it a repeat or not. I will try to catch that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 All of the games are on replay it looks like on the WatchESPN app using AppleTV. I imagine maybe using other devices as well? Doesn't seem to be the case using iPhone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could win it, this year but NBA Summer Leg should be for all young players on the team Hardaway(23), Mus(24), and even Dennis(22) should be on the team to get Exp. to improve the Hawks. If it was up to me, I'd send Scott (27) and Baze(26) to just to practice their finishing at the basket! Edited July 11, 2016 by iDash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer league is mainly a showcase for either players outside of the NBA who want to crack the squad or Rookies who need to get their feet wet. Established NBA players, regardless of their age, really shouldn't have any place on the team. Dennis especially would have nothing to gain from playing with a bunch of players that probably won't ever sniff the NBA... Maybe Moose and Hardaway could use the extra work though lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I like our depth thus far. I hope this team really surprises me. I really want them to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 11, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 @capstone21, yes, that's been the case in the past for the most part, but if Patterson is still on the roster and has regained his 3pt shot, and if Jack isn't at least 80-90% back, it will be a legit competition. And all the more so if Cotton were to continue playing this well and end up getting a contract offer. Regardless, what I like about it is that that last PG slot will be earned by someone. And the Jack signing is about as low-risk-high-reward as it comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis and Baze both making a considerable jump, Howard bouncing back, our bench staying healthy and rooks being able to chip in and contribute... But I think this organization has earned some good karma by doing things the right way the last several seasons. I have a sneaky optimism heading in. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I think we’re going to find out that Harden is more cancerous than we already know at Houston. There’s a defensive problem though, who’s covering up Kyle Korver on the perimeter if he starts? (Which he shouldn’t, he should still get at least 20-22 mins but he shouldn’t start) It was Al Horford that did and he’s gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have to play with the starters because we need his three point shooting threat to spread the floor. People will pack the lane in with Dennis-Thabo-Baze playing in the perimeter. I agree he shouldn't get more than 25 minutes a game next year, but he will probably be used almost exclusively with the first string IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean Thabo start, but I know already that Bud is going to balk completely at playing the rookies (which I don't like, at all) so I'm wasting time typing this.

Gray Mule Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Too bad the NBA doesn't have a system where all teams have a D league team and the ability to have enough players to fill both rosters. This could be set up so that, when a player has 2 seasons of D league experience, he is then a free agent and can sign with any team, providing he has not been moved up to the NBA team. This would prevent teams from stockpiling players for their own use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
