but not ideal having to sacrifice at the 2 spot because your "star" point guard is an intentionally lazy defender (ignoring his physical limitations). Would like for Trae to start acting like a grown up on that end of the court.
My guy how many games did you watch last year? Trae will never be considered Andre Iguadola, but he competed his little ass off last year. Dejountae was far worse on that end, I mean the play in game he was literally good for the bulls He’s gotta improve but putting more length around him will obviously help
Agree, but I was talking about Trae (Who I thought you were as well talking about surrounding him with dudes that will cover up his defensive liabilities). Just to repeat: I would like to see him step it up on that end, physical limits be damned.
We agree on this point 100% I also think surrounding him with dudes like Kobe Bufkin, Daniels etc make it not as punitive. Trae was legit a better defender this year than Haliburton but Hali had guys like Siakam, Turner, Nemhardt, etc who covered up for him. Trae has to be better there you are right though
I’ve come around on the trade. Really high on Daniels and was before the trade and I get to root against the Lakers all season
Starters Trae Dyson Risacher Jalen OO Bench Kobe Bogi Deandre Mo? Capela Closing group Trae Bogi Dyson Jalen OO or Trae Bogi Daniels Risacher Jalen
Gotta be honest, don't think I'm going to be getting a level-headed analysis from a guy named "InSnyderWeTrust".
just think you gotta let ppl breathe a bit in these team threads rather than policing no one got onto you when you were posting captain obvious takes about Risacher's level of competition or wrong Salary Cap numbers. This is a slow thread, more activity the better esp as we wander in purgatory.
Watched the entire summer league game last night bc I am unwell I like ZR a lot. Smooth. Active off the ball on both ends. Shot looks good. You can see he’s not a plus athlete but I think playing with dudes like Trae, Bogie, Jalen he’s a perfect piece. And man 6’8 wings just don’t get to the market, I’m so glad we took him over Sarr. Nikola Jurisic (sic) is a lunatic and I love him. 6’7, irrational confidence. Hope he’s not a stash in Europe guy. I’d love to see him toggle between college park and Atl.
ZR, Nikola, Vit. It’s clear Landry wanted more length at wing which seems great. no clue wtf we are going to do at center. We have 90 of them now
Hawks play tonight mfs Really want to see who gets minutes at the 4 when JJ isn’t in and who handles the ball when Trae sits. Quinn won’t show us anything else OO foot has me worried
Damn it, we are stuck with Hunter’s $70M for the next three years when Zacch/Vit should be getting all his SF minutes.
