Ice Trae The Gang: Official 2018 Atlanta Hawks Offseason Thread

So with all of the draft talk it looks like maybe a smoke screen but the kings possibly will go with Bagley...,Are you all still locked in on JJJ/Bamba or is Doncic your guy

BTW I find it hard to believe the kings don’t want a Doncic but if the case is that they want a Bagley I think you all are set up for a great pick.

No one on here want JJJ.

For the most part its Bagley or Bamba with more leaning Bamba. I prefer Bagley but everyone is different

Except Bagley isn't a perimeter player

He is a beast all over the court.

Bagley aint it

He's an explosive athlete, a proven go to scorer on a Duke team full of lottery picks and NBA players. He's also got some dog in him and wants to be the guy...I want that guy on my squad

Except Bagley isn't a perimeter player

True but I believe he can develop that aspect of his game...my bigger point is that Schlenk has gone after guys with a dynamic offensive profile (or the potential for one). JJJ & Bamba don't fit that profile. Trae Young could but he's not going #3...at #3 Bagley should be there and he will be the BPA. Hopefully Schlenk pulls the trigger

@Sly Cookin i wouldn't be mad at Doncic...would allow us to move on from Schroeder and his mediocre PAWG onto a potentially dynamic playmaker. I love Doncic's game in the limited games I've seen from him

That's true but I definitely wouldn't label him a perimeter player. Most of his money will be made around the rim.

Ultimately I'm not against Bagley at all, between him and Bamba, over the past few days, I've leaned about 51% Bamba

I'm also not opposed to Luka or Trey depending how things play out. I'll just be happy when the draft is over so I'll know who I need to stan going forward

A few mock drafts I've seen has us taking Trae Young

Nothing wrong with Bamba, just I prefer Bagley but whatever we do, NO JJJ!

 

[Atlanta 80s baby]

I'm probably the only one in here who would be happy if we got doncic.

He's the best ball handler in the draft imo. He's 6-8 and 230 that can dribble, shoot, pass. If he dedicates himself to transforming his body, he'll be a 6-8 Manu Ginobili.

Manu is faster right now than Doncic. That's scary.

How doncic compare to Galinari?

How doncic compare to Galinari?

I think this is a reasonable comparison athletically but Doncic is miles better offensively in general at the same age but this isn't a bad comparison. Defensively, Gallo was still better. Gallo defensively was never terrible.

 

[Atlanta 80s baby]

I honestly don't think Doncic has ever put in work in the gym. I think he just goes through with the training camp sessions and deems himself ready for the season. Could be wrong tho, but he's like what 19. I think people get a misconception he's already 21-22.

I think once he finds out what Lebron and KD are about first hand, he put in that required work.
