If JJ reaches All-Srar level, this thread officially becomes a top 5 thread of all time on the Squawk.

I know these are summer workouts and should be taken with a heavy grain of salt, but what's consistent with Jalen's videos is the vision and passing.  I hope he makes that big leap, but he's looked better as a ball handler and facilitator in the half court from his summer workouts I've seen. His body control is elite!

I also believe Jalen legit wants to be great which goes a long way in development.

I'm hoping for one more move from the front office next week and I think we'll have a really good squad this year.

What kind of move are you expecting/hoping for? And why next week?

I want Ayton.  Send CC out with fillers.

Uh maybe it's October they can combine players in a trade.

Aah yes....Sept 6th when the players acquired in DJ trade (except Zeller) can be combined in trade.

In asking several competing executives about the 2021 draft class, Jalen Johnson's name came up as one they're watching closely, with his combination of size (6'9") and skill. The Atlanta Hawks are expected, however, to retain him.

2023-24 averages (56 games, 52 starts): 33.7 minutes, 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 35.5 percent from three

Closest comp: Vassell, McDaniels

March expectation: Johnson could fight for $25-30 million annually.

Current expectation: Competing executives suggested he could end up even higher.

Looking forward to seeing what playing through JJ will look like.  This could be a game changer for us.
