Taurean Prince

[jayu70]

I may wonder over to the Blazers board today. The Magic and Mavs boards consist of angry people. Let’s see what the PNW has for me.

Ummm...were they angry before Spud showed up?

NOTE: Tread lightly on the Magic Board. The Site Admin (the big boss) presides over there. You really might get yourself (and your IP address) banned from this place.

I won’t go over. I don’t wanna be that guy..well except for you guys having me here! Lol.

Go to the Wiz board. They are having a heated angry debate about Klay. Jaaaammmaaaal riled them up with the Huerter comp. Now they are going at each other since we beat them.
Don't tell them I sent you.

Thinking the Tobias Harris trade takes one very, very serious Prince suitor off the table.

You've mentioned PG13 as a potential ceiling for Prince.

I think Tobias (with better defense) is probably a more reasonable expectation for the best Taurean Prince season.

It won't be the end of the world if we extend him on a modest deal this summer. But under no circumstances should we allow him to reach RFA in 2020.

Prince has been hot especially from deep. I'd love to extend him, but Schlenk has to be careful not to give up one of those Schroder type deals.

It'll be interesting how GMS goes about handling the extenstion of his first rookie class deals.

Report was that, while he was recovering, Hawks head coach spent a lot of time, one on one,
working with Prince. Seems to be paying off, doesn't it...

I like where his head is at. I think his skill set is great for a 4th/5th option of he plays the right way. Still need that defensive stud if we keep him, though

The downside to trading Prince is more Bembry!

[Jamaaliver]

Interesting.

Note: I don't think Dennis and Taurean were particularly close. I wonder how that dynamic would play out.

Thunder reportedly express trade interest in Taurean Prince



The NBA trade deadline is less than 30 hours away and, for the most part, things have been quiet surrounding the Atlanta Hawks. The team does possess some intriguing trade assets, however, and Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer shed a bit of light on the potential of a deal involving starting forward Taurean Prince.

The Thunder have also inquired about Hawks forward Taurean Prince, who I reported was available last month on The Ringer NBA Show. In addition to the Thunder, league sources say the Sixers and Blazers have expressed interest in the 3-and-D forward.

I hope we keep him.

I don't know how many of you guys follow Taurean on Twitter...

but this kid makes weird comments like this ALL THE TIME.

About his haters and doubters not believing in him. It was really bad while he was out injured this season.

He turns 25 next month. Is he quoting a song or something?

Or just in his feelings?

People be weird.

I mean we are all are a little weird. Most know when to keep your weirdness to yourself.

I like Taurean a lot but if we can sell high this summer I'm for it. Bembry / Prince combined would be the perfect 3 for us. But I'm not sold on Prince's shot creation and I'm not sold on Bembry's shooting. I'm really high on Heurter but it remains to be seen if he's an all star level wing or not. If not then we're going to need a real scorer at the 3.

We need a better 3, no doubt. I think the goal is to snag that with our own first this season.

I can't stand Bembry.

How Taurean Prince handles the ups and downs of another rebuilding season

The third-year forward knows what you think about him, and he’s determined to become fulfill the promises of the 2016 draft prospect you fell in love with all over again



The spurts of great potential have still shown up for Prince in his third season. He’s shooting his best field goal percentage of his career, and is averaging just a touch below last season’s averages from the free throw line and beyond the arc.

The glimpses of why the Hawks traded up into the lottery for Prince in 2016 have come at the right time after returning to the lineup in late January.

“I think I’ve adjusted pretty well [since returning],” Prince said. “I’m moving the ball well. I’m playing within the team. I’m cutting way down on my turnovers. I’m taking the shots that are given, I’m not forcing anything. Most of all, I’m taking more pride on the defensive end.”

Through his first 37 games played this season, Prince’s defensive rating is at a career-worst 115.1...his net rating is also at a career-low of -11.6. He’s also averaging a career-low -6.9 in the +/- category. Coming into the NBA, Prince was widely-regarded as one of the better defensive prospects in the 2016 draft class, but that potential hasn’t turned into results on a consistent basis for him.

Prince acknowledges the mistakes that he and the team have made on the court during this rebuilding season. There’s still one thing that always keeps the [almost] 25-year-old sane through the losing streaks and the regular downs of an 82-game season.

“Family,” he said.

On a national scale, Young receives the most fan criticism, and attention, on the Hawks this season. In the tight community of Hawks fans and writers, however, the title arguably goes to Prince.

It’s been a tough season for Prince on the court up to this point, but he still sees a light at the end of the tunnel for himself and the team that he’s heard other teammates describe as “the most together team in the NBA.”

I just read the article without knowing you posted it. I like Prince a lot and will support him if he's here longterm or shorterm.
