Re: Jalen Johnson Appreciation Thread
I dunno if he has the scoring to be a primary creator, but I love JJ as a secondary creator and defender. Atlanta was pretty decent before he went down last year.

Re: Jalen Johnson Appreciation Thread
Figured this was worth a bump after his ridiculous game last night.
What do the Hawks do with Trae Young?

They wait for him to come back, because he's still a driver for the team.

Driver to worse record.
When the individual feels, the community reels.

They've been running him out there with very little for years. Now that they are starting to aggregate some talent, abandoning their primary playmaker seems foolhardy to me.

He's in year three and coming off an efficient 11 point performance. What am I supposed to think about him? Rotation player? Missing piece for the hawks? All star potential?
He looks like a future starter for sure. Only a matter of time before he takes Saddiq Bey's spot in the rotation. He's a tweener to me, but in a good way. He can play the 3-4 depending on the matchups. Obviously, if he had to be matched up with guys like Wemby or Markannen he might have some trouble, due to their size and skill.
Nah he's a four that's extremely versatile. Think Ben Simmons esque w/o the ptsd. There's no pf he can't guard except the freaks like Zion, Giannis, etc.
He has abnormal vision and passing skills for a forward. His ball handling is up there too. This guy was never going to pop under Mcmillian and Snyder has him on one. He and Trae are dynamic together. Capela isn't the best froncourt mate imo, but Onyeka and him are really dynamic as well.
I had to prop myself with the bolded after the Jazz game. Only thing that will hold them back are injuries.
