He certainly sees the floor better than Hunter now. I couldn't tell what his perimeter defense looked like but he does have the fluidity to play it. You need to watch his full scouting videos. He shows flashes of being a better ball handler than Hunter, but that's not very consistent. His passing in transition is very good, but in the half court needs improvement. He has tons of potential on the defensive end, but at times was checked out or lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely minutes for Huerter at the 2 without injury. when there is an injury. Cam will slide to the 2 which I think is his best position anyway I get that, I said in a pinch. For instance, to start the year, Cam or Kev will be moved in to the starting lineup with Dre out, and that leaves an opening for backup SG minutes that allows Lou or Wright to fill and the other to hold down back up PG. Trae-Lou Bogi-Wright Kev- Cam (or vice versa) and obviously they would get the lion's share of minutes on the wing, but you still have stretches that you can run Lou and Wright together.

I wouldn't go that far now - if we are winning a game and the GL player comes in for the last 3 minutes that's not them really helping us win. I'm gonna be generous - anything 8 minutes (at least 2 minutes a quarter) or above is a something worth considering as a real contribution. Example: Both Knight and Mays played in 33 games, about a 1/3 (11 games) of those were 8+ minutes, there are a lot of 3 minute games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a Knee scope not reconstructive surgery Maybe he will be back in time, which we all want to see. That would be awesome and I'm looking forward to it. But initial reports were that he had Knee Surgery to repair his meniscus tear, not a scope. Did this change and when did they say it was just a scope? My understanding was he had the scope during the season to avoid surgery, which is why it was able to flare back up https://www.si.com/nba/2021/06/09/hawks-deandre-hunter-will-miss-remainder-nba-postseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we have any idea what we have in Jalen Johnson. Some guys aren't even playable until their 3rd year in the league. Yea it does not make any sense to me and makes me think people just like playing monopoly money, getting rid of proven vets for cheaper unknown younger players, sounds like a bad idea right now with our team having such good chemistry. Let the front office worry about cap issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer: De’Andre Hunter underwent surgery earlier today “and is expected to make a full recovery in advance of training camp,” per the Hawks.

RedDawg#8 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I just want to remind everyone we are talking about spots 15 - 17 potentially being rookies, and at worst, spots 13-15 if we don't sign anyone else. Nate likes a 10 man rotation, the Rooks won't even crack the top 12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. that's about how I see it. Lou is OG but will come in for a PG. Wright is an OG and will come in to BU PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Wesley Matthews would be a nice edition I believe. He doesn't have to play much, and would only play if there a lot of injuries to the team. My preference as well. Who are the best wings left in FAcy we can afford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
