Don't know who made that up or where it came from.


It's a stupid as hell concept to complain about for our team though. I mean Freddie and Siakam and FVV are already ball distributors for our team, they also take a lot of shots since they're the best offensive options. I mean at some point the NCAA bench player and OG may be ready for bigger roles/mo'shats/what have you but that time is not now. Perhaps we should be getting svi and precious more looks. GTJ doesn't shoot it enough right?

Maybe yall fooling me with your high level sarcasm and trolling games and you're totally fine with FVV in his current role. Well done.

This is honestly a masterclass.

If Basketball Jones is Jordan you’re Kobe. :lol:

Either way, he is a beast on the defensive side. Court vision in the half court and break is nice.

Curious to watch some other footage that is not a compilation.

That’s basically the dream, if he can develop into that point guard some scouts are seeing in him. If he can he’ll be a steal for us in our range.

Watching some Dyson Daniels youtube stuff from the past month.

Son looks smooth out there playing under control. 6 feet 6 inches tall. He's an Aussie!

More I keep watching here, the more I am getting Dejounte Murray vibes. Like year 2 and year 3 Murray, not this years' evolved version of Murray.

If son keeps playing well in the GLeague...can most definitely see him moving past the 20-25 range into the lottery.

If we get the Bulls in the first round we could be heading to the 2nd round.

They're quite a bit better with Lonzo and Caruso but it's not a terrible match up for us. Our length bothers them.

I dont think Scottie will be a super star, but his ceiling is still very high and fits as a very nice building block in a contender team. We just need more prospects that fills our other needs without gaping holes in their games.

We can do it. We’re very close. Atlanta is starting to win again as well.

Those two are plus defenders. Would be interesting to see us matched up with them full health

I love Scottie, that wasn't a dig at him, just a dig at Masai's philosophy. I think he forgets that it goes both ways, sometimes a naturally talented scorer can learn defence, it doesn't always have to be the other way around.

Especially now that we have a core of very good defenders.

With DeAndre Hunter back now for about 2 weeks...he will actually be a massive help to the Hawks. Great defender, knockdown 3 point shooter.

Bullish on the Hawks.

Lonzo is the engine that drives the Bulls. He is the perfect fit the scorers like Lavine and DeMar.

I think you will be disappointed - Masai always draft long, athletic, strong defenders who has good enough shooting form to become a good shooter. OG, PS, Barnes etc
