yeah but he got drafted to put butts in seats. management feels the best way to do that while we rebuild is to chuck ridiculous three balls. That's my pessimistic take with no evidence to back it up.
The hawks don't need wins this year. He'll only get better at 3 pointers by shooting more of em. Let him get as many reps as he needs imo. Also, 1 for 5 is bad, but if he gets 17 assists its clear he's not going for 3 when a better pass is a available.
I really don't think that's why he's throwing them up from Norcross, but I could be wrong. It makes sense in context to creating driving room by forcing slower defenders way outside, but if he keeps chucking bricks they'll back off and guard him tighter in. If and when he gets more selective on where he shoots from, he'll be on his way to becoming an all star.
It's a correctable flaw now, I just hope he doesn't let it get too ingrained.
He surely wouldn't have let key pieces walk for nothing... and set the organization back 5 years.... Coach Bud was a joke...
Bud got put in a hard position when Ferry got fired. Coaches should not be GMs.
Bud was a good partner with Ferry, but he was heinous as a GM
He requested complete control of the team and recd GM of the year (or was at least in discussion) because he claimed it was all him.
He Bogarted the c r a p out of that position.
Bud was a joke... At least the new owner found that out and was glad to get rid of him.
no argument from me on that. He was really bad
I think he lobbied for the job though. Word is he left because the GM role was being taken from him.
Bud is a really good coach. Terrible GM. The team was heading towards a major rebuild and he wanted to go to a team that could compete now. His departure was a mutual agreement.
"partner" in the sense that I am with my wife. She asks me what I want from the store... she usually gets me something "similar" to what I wanted that is better for me, or better than what I actually asked for.
Yep, what would you like from the draft Bud ?
I could sure use a good shooter and a passer from the low post Danny.
You got it big fella.
I haven't had many chances to watch them except highlights. Are any of these 3s Trae is taking as the shot clock is running down? I have seen some players that have had their shot percentage affected by being the one left with the ball on a bad possession.
I don't watch entire games, I only do that with UGA football. Many if not most of his looong shots are not about the time clock though. If the defender gives him a bit of space, his reaction is to shoot.
If I was his coach I'd have him work on getting open in the half court offense, it's a very different skill.
Young needs to pick it up and shoot more long 3's. The Hawks are only in 3rd place in this year's Tankathon. For once, they need to execute their plan, come in with the worst record, and hold their breath when they draw those ping pong balls knowing they have the best odds to get whoever they think is the best pick next year. Are the odds better that they get the first pick...or that they use it on the wrong player? Story continues next June.
