"Losing" the lottery might be a blessing in disguise.

It's not bad weight. Its not body fat, and he's all muscle. It's actually tall and skinny guys like bol bol get hurt.

No, it's physics. Doesn't matter what "kind" of weight it is. It's weight.

Zion will look more like Lebron Ina few years than Chuck.

It's only the weight that matters? Body type, bone/ligament density, muscle mass have no bearing whatsoever? You are 100% wrong. A close anthropometric comp, LeBron, is one of the most durable players in NBA history.

It's not about being 'in shape' or not. Not sure what folks are missing. Perhaps folks are just choosing to worship at the alter of Zion rather than assessing the situation with clear minds?

:noway:

I said weeks ago that, if we get the top selection, Zion is the pick. However, there are some legitimate concerns with him.

Did that happen by luck and by chance? No. Is that the norm? No.

Did you read what I wrote? No.

It's like the Golden State Warriors. Things just always bounce their way.

What happened to the pretty girl? Lol.How serious of an injury to Reddish since Coach K knew nothing about it before game time.

Rui vs Culver time!!!

Hazer · Post #2113 » by **Hazer** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:36 pm

Posted an article weeks ago about Culver still growing. Listed at 6’6”, looks like he’s reached 6’8”, perfect SF for Hawks, impressive in tournament.

Culver doesn't do it for me. He will need time, a lot of time.

King Ken · Post #2117 » by **King Ken** » Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:14 am

If you are the Hawks, do you take Okeke and Jontay with both LA and CHA 2nds

Gimme him over Hunter all day though. Hunter is a fringe 1st rounder in my eyes. Low ceiling, system player.

Carsen Edwards>Trae Young. Flame away.

Hunter looked awful v. Purdue. He really is Otto Porter Jr. The inconsistency is nerve wrecking but he still made an impact on defense and off the ball on O but on the ball, pure rubbish

What direction should Hawks go with their lottery picks?
