I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea of Marvin at 3 but I just don’t see him consistently creating his own shot in the league. I would have to pass

Lol I think we should've had poll for this thread. Now that the measurables have come out and we're seeing the interviews, I like the idea of Mo Money here in Atlanta. I like his dedication to improving his skillset. Him working with KG is gonna do wonders for his offensive game.

Of course the ATL
I know, I'm saying him and Bagley are kind of the same dude.

Hawks are in Best Player available mode. Similarly to how the Sixers had Embiid, Noel and Okafor on the roster at the same time. There are no guarantees these guys develop at the rate we think they do or that they all pan out...if Bagley is there he's the pick. I think we're a year or two away from drafting for need/position

Development in many ways is tied to role,confidence, and minutes. Keep on drafting guys who do the same thing and you negatively effect all 3 creating a sort of self fulfilling prophecy where guys aren't developing fast enough so your never getting stability at a position you've invested way too much in neglecting other aspects of your roster.

This team and roster is young enough where that's not going to be a problem. Everybody is going to get minutes and an opportunity to play on a team that projects to be as bad as we will be. We're going to take the best player available and if Bagley is there then that's who we get...trying to project the fit of teenagers on a lottery team devoid of stars is foolish. Let's draft the BPA, coach em up and see what happens

ATL to MEM
lol. Thank God that place is closed, got a 42 on one of its health inspections :scust:



:scust::scust::scust:

I used to do a lot of events with my wife and some would be held in spots that were lounges or clubs at night and man the kitchens were always nasty. I swear the only way they could pass health inspections is if someone tipped them off first. What I'm seeing described here is exactly how I remembered them, a film of grease on everything, flies, food that should be cool that isn't, etc... I never saw a spot that kept their seasonings and condiments in a set location, they were always scattered everywhere and left open.

Exactly how I feel. He’s Collins with more upside. Don’t see the franchise changing skill set at all just a solid player
He plays like Bosh but like Collins he can rim run. But Bagley is a superior version of Bosh offensively while not as good defensively.

You get the superstar. Sixers did the right thing with Embiid. Their only mistake with Okafor was not following their own plan and taking the potential + talent + ability. I always heard KP didnt work out with Philly and that's why they took Okafor who didnt work out as well. Philly just got the wrong pick. If they landed #1. Towns would be playing with Embiid. They dont fit but the value you will get in a trade for either one would be sky high

I really dont think it's that hard. Bagley is the best offensive player in this class. Hes the most likely to score 20 PPG next year on even a good team much less a scrub team where Prince can put up 20. 24/13 isnt a player we have ever had. Dont fukk it up. Take Bagley
