Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted January 15, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'm down on Prince too, but I'm not ready to give up on him yet. He has loads of potential and the Hawks are going nowhere fast. I'd give him a few more seasons to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosgrim Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I've said this before, Prince is a solid role player. He'll never be spectacular, probably never see an All-Star game. But, every winning team needs guys like Prince. He'll continue to improve and he has the makings of a very strong defensive player (maybe an all NBA defensive team member at some point) who will occasionally give you 20+. The guy is not someone you just give up on in his second year (as other have noted). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be a productive starter and is very early in his career. Give him time. We've got nothing to lose by developing him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 TP is like most players in terms of fits going a long way in determining their impact. I had no issue with him last year as he emerged between Tim and Sap. I haven’t checked 82games in a minute but would imagine our best lineups featuring him also include Bellinelli at the 2 and Collins at the 4.

Premium Member cam1218 Posted January 15, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think he will wind up being a good fourth option on a playoff team. I haven’t watched as much as I wish I could this year, but I do check the box score every morning. He has some disappointing games, but I find myself surprised many times with his scoring and contributions. ESPN has him ranked high on their fantasy rankings (yes, I know it is fantasy) but it confirms what I see when he is contributing in all of the big categories. Right now it seems he tries to do too much offensively, but he still has good scoring outputs occasionally which will encourage him to keep trying to score on a bad team.

But as soon as he has a bad showing folk bring out the pitch forks. It's not like this is first season with meaningful minutes or anything I guess. lol and dude suggested Stanley Johnson? The dude that has already proven to be a complete dud in the NBA? smh hilarious In fairness, Stanley Johnson is two years younger than Prince. That said, I doubt Johnson ever turns into a reliable rotation player. Given that Prince is on a rookie contract and the Hawks are not looking to win now, there is no reason not to give him heavy minutes until a better option emerges. Prince will likely settle in as a useful bench player on a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan2331 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I liked Stanley coming out of Arizona but he's been a disaster in Detroit. At this point I think we could get him for a couple top-59 protected seconds. I don't see the Pistons picking up his option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still getting a good number of minutes so far this season but he has been as brutal as ever. They might pass on his option given his level of play but the number of minutes suggests they might want to keep him for rookie contract pricing.

The Pistons imo don't have the offensive options to justify Stanley being even a rotational player. 35% from the field has to be below the Mendoza line for wings in the NBA.
