July 8, 20187 yr I guess the hypothetical upside of Trae Young is Steph Curry, but I think his career will look more like Steve Kerr's.
July 8, 20187 yr Author he's never going to be steph curry; not in a million different simulations if his career. but he's probably going to be better than many here seem to think. he just needs some nba coaching and weight training, and he'll be a good player for a long time.

July 9, 20187 yr Author Through three quarters Bamba has 11 points, 5 boards, and a block on 5-8 shooting (1-2 3P) in 15 minutes.
July 9, 20187 yr did ATL already sign Trae Young? If not, best to delegate to the minor league and save millions .

The way they were breaking up his minutes was frustrating but I'd say he played well. Had one obvious lack of effort play but hopefully that clears up.

July 9, 20187 yr 41 minutes ago, Orca of Peace said: what makes you qualified to judge anyone else? That was a pretty ridiculous statement, dude. After a couple summer league games you're saying the top ten pick in the draft is headed to the G-league. No front office staff would survive that even if it's an appropriate assessment of the player's ability level (narrator: it's not).

July 9, 20187 yr Just now, Orca of Peace said: lots of players are busts. dude. and none of them were sent to the D/G-league prior to their first season. dude.

July 9, 20187 yr 11 minutes ago, Orca of Peace said: but they should. dude. no they shouldn't. If you draft a guy in the top 10 and send him directly to the minor leagues, you fucked up that draft big time. As in, you knew this was not an impact player and wasted your draft pick anyway. It's okay to be wrong about someone b/c they don't pan out. It's not okay to intentionally make a shitty draft pick. And you don't know any more about Trae Young after a couple summer league games than you knew before the draft. Good luck with your untenable position. dude.
July 9, 20187 yr I think BigOrange's comment had less to do with talent evaluation (a lot of us think Young isn't going to be worthy of the 6th pick in the draft), and more to do with the fact it seems you might think Atlanta can just put him in the G League and not sign him to a standard contract.

I have no clue how Trae Young ends up but I bet he has a huge rookie year. The Hawks are going to be trash next year. There's going to be a lot of garbage minutes for Young to jack shots/score.

Adding Knox and then taking a chance on lottery talent, Mitchell Robinson, in the 2nd round, it has the potential along with Unicorn to be the foundation of something.

It's really too bad for them that they threw so much money and years to Tim Hardaway (17.3 next season and 18.2 the following) and Joke Noah (18.5 next season and 19.3 the following) - otherwise they would have been a real player in next summer's FA bonanza. They might still be - NYC is NYC of course. But those two contracts are a millstone around the franchise right now.

Noah has been done and was a terrible decision .
July 15, 20187 yr I'm starting to think Miles is going to be a better NBA player than a college player. I think the style/pace will suit him better. When his outside shot starts falling...might be a dark hours ROTY candidate. Edited July 15, 20187 yr by Baboontyme
