frosgrim Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Of all the guys discussed, Young is the last one I would want for the Hawks at #3. After listening to NBA radio, I extremely worried the Hawks will make a trade with Philly. The Sixers REALLY want Donic to pair with Embid and Simmons. Thus, I can see us taking Donic at 3 and then moving him IF Young is available at 10 to the Sixers. PUKE. I don't know what else we'd get back from Philly in this deal- maybe Fultz or Saric? But this seems to natural given Lloyd's knowledge of the Philly roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is pretty clear that he lacks the first step explosion and lateral quickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we talking trading back up into the top #10, cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really expect 7 footers to have quick first steps, and I think you may overstate his lateral deficiencies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member aali34 Posted June 20, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 @KB21 Got confused and thought you were referencing his first step on offense. Still I don't think it presents a liability. Its not like he's Hassan Whiteside on the court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 You are also looking at a player who missed half his final AAU season due to injuries, missed games during his senior high school year due to injuries, and started to wear down at the end of Texas's season this year. You have to wonder if his body type is going to lead to him being injury prone, particularly since his functional athleticism isn't that great and his strength is etremely poor right now.

Similar measurables but Bamba seems quicker and more athletic. Didn't know about the injuries though. Gonna do a quick look up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
