Shorter and more efficient version of Jamal Crawford but less the distributor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 25 - 30 year old All Stars do you think the Hawks can attract? We have money next season, do you think AD will come here just because you want him too? I wish the Hawks management lived in your fantasy world where Atlanta was the prime destination for every 25 - 30 year old All-Star that became a UFA. Unfortunately the best we have done in over 3 decades is Paul Millsap after he had a down year in 2012/13; and JJ who was done with the Suns ownership and wanted to run his own team ( be the man ). Its like you think we have drafted almost all of our best players because we don't want LeBron, AD, KAT, Durant etc... Every GM in their right mind wants them; but small markets do not get them. Get over it or go make the Lakers or Clippers your favorite team. That is really all there is to it. My focus is only on winning. I couldn’t care less about all star appearances or building for the future. When you are playing 19 year old players that are raw and thrusting them into a role they aren’t ready for, you will lose games because of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the likelihood that you are actually going to draft a game changing talent is slim to none. So basically what you are doing is committing to multiple years of losing based on the low probability that you will land a game changer with that high pick.

But, but where do these game changing talents come from? Chances are, 100% of the time, in fact, that they came through the draft. Someone must draft them. Someone's favorite team. Hawks have a chance, perhaps a very small one, but a chance to draft that player that makes us a good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted March 21, 2020 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 NBA Rookies Who Were Just Starting to Prove Themselves Quote Hot streak to close season: 12 games Stats during streak: 15.9 PPG, 48.9% FG, 40.3% 3PT There isn't a measure to assess confidence except for the eye test, and it's detecting a different level for Cam Reddish since February. His recent surge highlights the benefits that come with allowing rookies to play through mistakes. Reddish looks far more comfortable and decisive with his shot selection. Consequently, he's executing at a much better rate, putting together super-efficient scoring outputs over his last month: 22 points on 14 shots against the Charlotte Hornets, 28 points on 11-of-17 against the Washington Wizards, 26 points on 9-of-14 against the Brooklyn Nets. Shot-making has always been Reddish's bread and butter, and that's propelled this streak. Over the final 12 games, he averaged 2.1 made threes and a variety of slick mid-range jumpers. For the season, he was at 43.9 percent on medium-range jumpers, per Synergy Sports. But he also started to show more ball-handling shake off the dribble than he did at Duke, when the offense ran through Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Tre Jones. Reddish often played point guard in high school, and though playmaking won't be part of his package early in Atlanta, more creativity is appearing on hesitation drives, off-the-dribble footwork, and pull-ups and step-backs. Defensively, there was always a lot to feel good about with Reddish's positional tools, foot speed and anticipation. But his scoring versatility was coming to life before the hiatus hit, and previous concerns about his offensive game were quickly fading. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2881804-nba-rookies-who-were-just-starting-to-prove-themselves#slide2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted April 11, 2020 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Flying Under the Radar - Cam Reddish The versatile 6-foot-8 Reddish was a blue-chip recruit when he entered Duke approximately 18 months ago. But his passive style of play led to him taking a backseat to his two superstar teammates, RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson. But Reddish’s positives still shined through, leading to him being selected 10th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks were an interesting fit for Reddish considering they also drafted De’Andre Hunter, another three-and-D wing. But playing alongside a gifted player like Trae Young creates more than enough space to learn how one fits into the NBA game without receiving too much attention from the defense or criticism from the media. And it’s worked out pretty well for Reddish – especially of late. Reddish was already seen as one of Hawks best defenders, according to former teammate Chandler Parsons. But Reddish’s offensive output has also surged of late. After averaging just 9.3 points prior to the All-Star break, Reddish surged to 16.3 points per game in the 11 games since. Further, he’s shooting 50% from the field – compared to only 35.3% before the All-Star break – and his three-point percentage is also up to 38.9% from 31.6%. Reddish might not have the star power of his college teammates, and he may never be the Hawks first or second option offensively; but he’s proven to be a resounding net positive. And at only 20-years-old, he’ll almost certainly get even better and garner the type of attention we expected him to before his lone college season began. http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-daily-under-the-radar-eastern-conference/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRW Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Cam will be the best player on this team two years from now and most likely a top 10 player in the NBA. He's a mixture between Tracy McGrady and Paul George. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
