    If Hawks land Hunter and Reddish that’s pretty darn good.

    I wish the Hawks actually would have an exciting team again. I got really into the great season with Bud...watched pretty much every game. Playoffs **** because it was an Atlanta team but if this team could ever sustain being decent for a few years the fans are there.

    Orlando. Like GeorgiaGirl posted, it's a done deal for Hunter. I can't recall a deal like this falling through in The NBA.

    Fernando might be considered the steal of this draft in a few years. There aren't many around like this guy. His 7'4'' wingspan combined with explosive athleticism and good shooting touch is insane. He has a 94 rating by Draftnet, the same score as Hunter.

    Say it does fall through, anyone know what happens?
  • WCDawgWCDawg ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    It won't fall thru, but if the sky fell..I have no idea what would happen next.

    I've probably been too harsh in my language about Reddish. He obviously has some ability and maybe he'll toughen up. The other 2 picks might help build a perennial winner.

    I agree with a couple of other posters that I love what Schlenk and Co. did yesterday. Given how ping pong balls fell in the lottery I think they got the most out that they could.  I can easily see all 3 pieces acquired continuing towards continued growth of the team.

    Wow, some of you guys flat-out nailed it before the draft. I'm impressed.

    Props to WC. I was listening to Zack Lowe and the ESPN guys discussing the draft and they didn't even know who the Fernandez guy was while he was talking about him before the pick.

    Hawks draft has been consider by many to be one of the best drafts of this year. Hawks aren’t done making moves either. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1143244996046282752?s=21

    Didn’t like that move.  Evans looks washed imo.
  • dbrown7494dbrown7494 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate
    He played the point last year I think this trying to get a bigger guard who can be serviceable. A veteran presents on the roster which the Hawks don’t have much of. I think moving bazemore was a good move too inconsistent. Spent too much time trying to shoot the 3 instead of using his athleticism to get to the basket.

    On the surface this looks like 2 teams trading marginally productive and over paid 30 year old players in hopes a change of scenery will do them good.

    Looking at The Hawks' weakness it might make better sense though. They gave up more PPG than any NBA team in 23 years, that is obviously horrible defense. Where Turner's less obvious value is in defense when he's on the floor vs when he's on the bench. This past season with him on the floor the per 40 minute rate opponents scored was 97.6. With him on the bench the rate was 105.1. That can be skewed when end of the bench guys play mop up minutes, but in this case it seems pretty representative.

    Anyway, Bazemore isn't a big loss and maybe we'll improve the defense. Every player added so far seems about playing their role and making the defense better.

    Just got released Reddish played the season with a broken rib along with his core injury. Kid has some heart for that!!!
