Young in good company 

Post#1 » by diesel50 » Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:20 pm

Young is averaging about 16.9 ppg and 7.6 apg. Only John Wall and Jason Kidd were able to do that in their rookie Seasons.

Good Job!
What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of ****' a-holes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your freakin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy."

Good Job!

J. Kidd averaged 11 ppg as a rookie.

Trae per36 might be GOAT tier for a PG.

He is avg 20/9/4/1. He has the best per36 for a player playing more than 24 mpg from a points and assists area.

In 34 years of my Hawks fandom, I’ve never been as excited about Trae as any player I can remember. We are going places people. Enjoy the ride! And I’d have to put Collins up there as well. Maybe WE GOT NEXT?

You was the biggest Trae fan on the Squawk. Well deserved

Thanks but I know macdaddy initially was all over him but when we drafted him I learned more about his passing and his work ethic, you can’t teach the will to want to be the best. Some guys want it and some don’t. Trae seems like he wants to dent the record books and hates to lose. We finally are getting things right as an organization and a shout out to our GM again. Collins, Trae, Huerter. He’s doing a hell of a job. It’s good things going on in Atlanta these days! Love it.

Yes he is and his company is becoming more elite. He just may set the standard for 20 and 10 rookies by season end. Haters going to hate; but Trae and Collins looked perfectly at home on All Star Weekend.

See.....this is why they should never bring the Squawk back. I’d be out of control cross-quoting and peacocking around.

I can’t read the 2018 draft thread anymore I’m sorry. My nose was glued to Luka’s butt. Coming off the flu I’m already nauseous I can’t take any more of this, specially since I’m sick of the dudes name already ... :lol:
