NBASupes Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 None of them are polished. Young is uber talented and an extremely gifted PG but lacks the measurements and tools needed to translate instantly. Kevin Huerter is talented like Klay but is even less polished than Klay was out of Washington State. Spellman is like Green, polished and skilled but needs to work on his conditioning to an extreme degree. All three are backups right now. None of them are as good as Dennis, Baze or Dedmon. All of them will take some time to develop. I would say due to their talent especially Young and Huerter, it will more like John Collins than Tyler Dorsey. They will add depth and get minutes.

Admin capstone21 Posted June 26, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I am not sure if Green is the best comparison to Spellman ... Green is the main/best facilitator on GS ... that is not Spellman's game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has more post skill than Green, shoots much better than Green and moves his feet very well out of college like Green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at his style of play he had more James harden than anything, especially with that step back move he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Best comparison I’ve seen has been Mike Miller and damnit if he turns out that good, we lucked up. 22 hours ago, Buzzard said: Even the Hawks haters over at ESPN are saying he is closer to Klay than Korver.

They are all raw as far as professionals go, but compared to other prospects they are amongst the most polished skill wise. FWIW, Spellman set a Hawks record in some sort of (IIRC) conditioning drill so I don’t think it’ll be a problem. With his competitive drive and a team of pros behind him, I think he drops down to about 240-245 and gains a slight boost in quickness and stamina. The kid has all the makings of a 2nd round steal and Schlenk has been really good late in the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hoping we would get him in that draft. Instead we got DerMarr Johnson with the 6th pick right after Mike. Our biggest miss that year was probably Jamal Crawford taken 8th and traded to the Bulls. Chris Mihm 7th and Pryz 9th had at least serviceable careers compared to DeMarr.

And it is due mostly to his athletic ability. I'll be honest. There are some out there who want to compare Kevin Huerter NOW vs Klay Thompson NOW, and there is no comparison NOW. However, if you compare Kevin Huerter now to Klay Thompson when he was a junior at Washington State, there is a very strong comparison between the two. People forget that Klay is a guy who rose during the draft process as a junior prospect. Kevin Huerter went from a 2nd round guy to being a mid first round pick when teams started working him out and taking a deeper look at his film and analytics from his sophomore season. Honestly, had he gone back for his junior season, he's probably a late lottery pick in 2019, much like Klay in 2011. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
