Cordinier is an excellent talent. He has it all. Cordinier just needs to tighten his handle and slow the game down in his mind. He makes some silly turnovers at times because of his inexperience. He is blindingly quick and athletic as all get out but needs to understand that at the next level, you can't blow by every defender. Needs to in the gym and do those dribbling drills day and night. If he tightens his handle, it will open up his game a bunch. All of this comes with time and motivation. He has the motivation, but he's just 19. Needs some time to fix his flaws. His set jumper is pretty and high arcing. Can finish at the rim with highlight athleticism. Those are great tools to start with... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 This wasn't a slight directed at you. During the entire summer league, people on these boards have been ragging on this guy and questioning his ability. He's doing what he is supposed to do; protect the paint, rebound and finish on his deep posts. Teams literally abandon the thought of driving in the paint when he is in the game. There is a huge difference when he is in the game vs when Costello or Ashley is manning the 5. Sure, he has bobbled some passes and brought the ball down low at times, but he has shown a stark improvement in overall awareness on the basketball court. He had disrupted a ton of shots, and when he gets a post catch, it's over. He is also a very good free throw shooter for a big. All in all, Edy has a lot of growing to do, but his upside is high. Like Gobert high... He has done nothing but improve. Definitely looks better than Moose last year, who got a lot of burn in the playoffs, in the summer league. The guy just needs playing time... I agree with this. And I think Dwight is going to help him develop his game also. If he ends up making the impact in NBA games that Gobert makes then I think we will all be very happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSmith Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Didn't get to watch the game but saw a few highlights and checked the box scores. Edy with zero personal fouls. Good job big fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomFan Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yes, it would be really great if Edy steps up this season and proves he will be ready for the backup center job for 2017. That would allow us to focus our draft and free agency on a young backup PF to develop behing Millsap, and either a backup SF for Prince or a starter in front of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, hard not to be pleased with the Coming to America tandem of Prince and Edy thus far. ~lw3 Wait who is DuDu? Because I have my own weird nicknames for players and of my go to one's in the last few years has been DuDu's rant (KD)... Obviously this was a sac queen tho..

gurpilo Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Not trying to be pessimistic just realistic Prince looks a little slow for me for the NBA level, I doubt he can penetrate so easy at NBA, needs to be a lot quicker Bembry has a slow release on his jumpshot, is going to be blocked quite often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Taurean Prince, DeAndre Bembry turning heads with summer league performance Quote Summer league success doesn’t always translate to regular season success but the Atlanta Hawks have to feel pretty good about what they have seen so far from first round picks Taurean Prince and DeAndre Bembry. Both players have played key roles in Atlanta’s 3-1 start and made their presence felt in a big way in Wednesday’s win over the Sacramento Kings. Prince turned heads against the Kings with a game-high 21 points and nine rebounds. He was playing in just his second summer league game after his debut was held up while waiting for the league to approve the three-team trade by which the Hawks acquired him. Prince put up a good showing in Monday’s debut despite not having practice before being cleared to play, but looked much more comfortable on Wednesday. "A little more confident,” Prince answered when asked about his improvement from Game 1. “Just having that one under your belt, gives you a lot more confidence as far as just doing what you want to do." Prince was aggressive in attacking the basket against the Kings and got to the free throw line nine times in the game. "I love that about him,” Taylor Jenkins said when asked about Prince’s improvement from Game 1. “He responded from the first game to the second game. He knew the mistakes he was making, the shots he was turning down. He's trying to play the right way at the end of the day. He's not trying to do too much.... That definitely showed today. He had an aggressive mentality and was going out there trying to make the simple play." Bembry was no slouch either finishing with 13 points and five rebounds while going 5 for 8 from the field. Bembry has done a little bit of everything for the Hawks in the first four games of summer league averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals. Having watched DeMarre Carroll and Kent Bazemore reap big paydays in each of the last two offseasons, the Hawks know well how hot of a commodity solid wing players are in today’s NBA. So far Prince and Bembry are passing every test. http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2016/7/14/12185266/taurean-prince-deandre-bembry-atlanta-hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was the recently-waived Duje Dukan, who is still on the Kings' Summer League roster. He was unconscious midway through the first quarter (11 points in under 3 minutes), and then only saw the ball once more for the rest of the game, because Kings Gotta Kings. ~lw3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we could possibly utilize a "twin tower" lineup, when appropriate, with Edy at center and Howard at PF. I think I remember Howard playing PF alongside another big guy at one point, I just can't remember who it was now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Finally,, I got to see a short, under 2 minutes, hi light of the game. Sure be happy when the season begins so I can watch! Noticed , in the box score, our Edy center had no fouls, 9 rebounds AND 3 steals! Shades of our PF! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) No chatroom for Summer league? WTH? I'm loving these two 1st Round "rookies." Both are smart, tough, and opportunistic. Nice dribble/pass/shoot skills and don't mind hitting the glass. Move very fluidly on the floor with good body language. Many "superstars" don't have the intelligence or energy to keep their hands in passing lanes. These kids' hands are always up. I'm much more excited about their development than anything associated with Dwight. Edited July 14, 2016 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Edy looking much more confident. I hope Prince isn't headed for a career full of injury. He does everything pretty damn hard. What is Wes Wilcox's background in summary? It's my first time hearing him speak. He doesn't sound (or look) like a "basketball guy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
