I was just thinking the same thing. Similar profiles but Bruno is proven longer and against better competition. That was a lazy ass article pieced together by looking at nbadraft.net and looking at our current draft picks. This **** isn’t journalism! I should start fashioning myself as a Hawks beat writer or a “draft expert” XD


You know what’s a lazy comparison? Cam to Marv...stop it.
I only said Marv is better at the same stage. I don’t think I’ve ever seriously said “Cam plays like Marvin..” etc. Especially when I’ve been comparing the guy to Nicolas Batum for about 8 months now. The similarities (for arguments sake) are the all world basketball talent with a church league mentality...that’s definitely fits. I’m pretty sure that’s the idea being expressed by the comparisons. And that is absolutely spot on.

You sure do have a lot of faith. You’re for damn sure short on any kind of empirical evidence.

Hunter is going to end up being what Prince was supposed to be on defense in the NBA.

I wouldn’t be mad taking Hunter with the Mavs’ pick. His shot fundamentals are decent enough Jent can coach him up. Plus who else has 2 ‘Dre’s on their team?

This is absolutely my thoughts on DeAndre Hunter.

He's basically what Taurean is supposed to be.





D Hunter = better shooting, better defending Taurean

By my count, Schlenk has gone to see him play twice in the last month. He’s on the radar and he’s an enforcer. Wouldn’t mind.

You never “seriously” compared him to Marv? When am I supposed to know when ur serious and when ur goofing off.

Comparing Cam to Marv is the laziest comparison I’ve ever seen and I feel it needs to be highlighted as your work, signed by easywok. It’s almost like comparing Larry Bird to Rik Smits. You just randomly decided to throw Marv as a comparison. No, that answer is wrong, there’s no way around your comparison but to say it’s flat out wrong.

I think Cam Reddish is much closer to Tre Jones as far as impact than he is to RJ Barrett. I swear to god I don’t think Ive seen a top draft pick do LESS and still be considered a lottery pick. Marvin Williams was a better player at the same stage.He literally does nothing all that well. If he was 2 inches shorter, dude probably wouldn’t even be drafted.


Yeah it is stunning how accepting most fans are of a guy shooting 35.6/34/78.7 from the floor no doubt. I want him to be who the scouts thought he was, since that guy was the perfect fit on the Hawks. But for sure if he didn't go to Duke out of HS, he would be out of the minds of most by now.

Don’t get mad, use your words. Where did I misquote you? When you get mad and throw a tantrum I tend to mute you.

Alright Twitterfingers.


First and foremost. I have never likened Cam Reddishs basketball skill set to Marvin Williams basketball skill set. Never has happened. Show me receipts.

I said Marvin Williams was better at this point than Cam is. Not even worth debating whether I was right OR wrong. If you agree, cool. If not, whatever.


Second of all..Cameron Reddish has been drawing criticism about his mentality/personality/aggressiveness since high school. I won’t do your dirty work. I’ve seen the articles. It’s you who needs to be informed.

Third of all...Dude shoots 36% on 12 shots a game. In 24 games, he is MUCH more likely to score LESS than 10 than he is likely to score MORE than 20.

36% and he’s playing off the ball as 3rd fiddle with no real ball handling or scoring responsibilities. He could literally eat sitting at the 3 point line waiting for a pass and can only hit 34%.

lol..I can’t believe there’s still someone out there that even believes in him.

Cam is a better prospect at SF than Marvin was. Marvin was a better prospect on general out of college. I don't see them being comparable outside of their consistency issues.

Marvin would’ve been much better in today’s NBA where he could’ve played PF full time. Cam is the better ball handler but Marvin has the better shot. If 19 y/o Marvin was in this draft, I’d pick him over Cam.

Say something enough and eventually it’ll stick...even if it ain’t true.
