Seems like we are all in on vets and not worrying about developing Younger players for the near future. I've heard nothing recently on it. It seems like the G-league been put on the backburner when it was the face of what Atlanta wanted to do this off-season just a few months ago but it's not just Atlanta. It seems like this is the case around the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball choosing not to work out has to be a minus. Show us what you got kid, what a wuss. Ball will probably look horrible working out without teammates to pass the ball to. lol. It's not like he can shoot it like Trae.... Edited October 30, 2020 by terrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcore Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I may have missed something but in the Tyrese Maxey and Anthony Edwards workout that Trae attended, I noticed that Edwards was shooting some reps from the logo. I do not recall seeing Maxey doing that. I think the pushing from within may have some weight here. Could Edwards have been working on shooting from that deep to match Trae's skill set? Become the super splash brothers? Travis did say his goal was to find the next Trae, Klay and Draymond. Could he see Ant as his Klay? Supes has said we've been talking to both GS and MIN. I think we're ultimately dangling Kevin because his position would be replaced by who we select moving up (AntMan). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been purposeful to exaggerate his mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards does have more range than Maxey though. Edwards workout was a mixed bag. I could tell he was pressing, but if he's truely 6'5" 225llbs ( @bleachkit) and a 7'0" wingspan, that's very intriguing mixture with his athleticism. He's not going to help the Hawks win right away, but like I've said before, the Hawks aren't winning a championship in the next two years. When they hopefully start contending, within the next few seasons, he'll probably be ready to contribute to winning. If the Hawks trade up and plan to keep the pick, I'd be most happy with Edwards, Hayes, or Ball. In that order. Edit: My thoughts on this entire contributing to winning debate for the 6th pick. Why do we care if they take a year or three, but if we get the player with the most upside and the player reaches that upside, the Hawks will be a dangerous for a very long time. This pick is the shoot for the most upside pick because you won't be in the lottery again for a very long time pick in my book.

Klay and Cam got some similarities, hell, so does Kevin and Klay to a lesser degree. We don't have a Draymond. Even though Trae is a lot different than Steph, they are comparable as impact guys at similar stages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Okongwu can be Draymond, game changer on defense, he does not have the passing or the 3pt shot yet but he has other tools and I am convinced he can improve the shooting and the passing.

Draymond is different. His defense is a tremendous value but his playmaking is GOAT for a big. Playmaking is the most underrated skill a big man can have if they get the usage.

Popular Post JTB Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’m commenting because every time I load up the home court page and see supes avatar next to this thread I keep clicking on it and being disappointed it’s not an update.

warcore Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 @NBASupes you mentioned we were talking to Chicago... was that specifically for the pick or could that have been for players like Lavine or Lauri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pick because none of their core is available right now. Mainly because the value is so much lower than what they would consider trading it for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucastheThird Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 @NBASupes what have you done to us this year?
