I would trade Mo for picks 8 thru 14. To me, best to gamble on getting a player that can contribute more.

Given the improvement we have seen from last year to this, I would argue that keeping him is just as good a gamble on “getting a player that can contribute more” next year ... and without being at the mercy of letting have the league have their choice first.

I would argue that his stats are the same if not a little worse than last year. Coach even plays him less minutes which to me with all the teams injuries seems like the coaching staff trusts him less. He has not improved stats wise and still gets completely lost on defense and offense at times. To me, he hasn't shown the ability to ever develop into an impact starting level player. In that case, I would rather gamble on obtaining a rookie with the hopes that new player is better.

I guess it is a good thing this is actual basketball and not fantasy basketball then!

Watch the games, not the boxscores.

I admit he has his moments, but when the guy hasn't improved his 3 point shooting, FG%, rebounding rates nor blocks, that is alarming. Now, he may be putting himself in better position for picks or one on one defense, but he hasn't looked dominating in any facet of the game. Also, he doesn't appear to be better than Birch, hence I don't see why we should sell high as we can get now instead of sticking with someone who most likely ends up a career 15-20mpg backup player when we can chance something better.

Imo, this is a good year to uncover a hidden gem because the media and draft analysts can't even figure out a proper ranking.

While I don't like how WeHam have been passive in terms of moving up or down in the draft, I do like the players they have added.

Favor to ask. If it is already in this thread, please point me to the page, but can someone explain to me how to predict our pick under the new rules.

Also, because I am literally blacked out from watching. How the F is the Hawks' record so bad?..

We’re almost guaranteed to pick 15th/16th as a 1st round exit.

birch is currently better than bamba , He is not a hater for saying the truth . When Vuc was out birch started .mo still hasn’t been able to outplay birch consistently is a bad sign for his development and future in the league

If the Magic could package Mo and their mid round pick for a top 10 or top 8 pick, would you do it?

Exactly, we have the see the difference between players drafted in Top 8 to Top 16 before answering it.

Bamba could do it before Vuc could. How interesting is that?

I guess the draft is all I have to look forward to now.

Oh god, I just saw a mock draft and it burns my eyes.

Why? We all know it will be a defensive player with zero offensive abilities.

Which mockdraft are you looking at?

p0peye · Post #117 » by **p0peye** » Thu Feb 6, 2020 9:38 pm

Too early to tell, but I have a feeling this Aaron Nesmith dude from Vanderbilt would be a good pickup for us in this draft.

What's his wingspan? Is he a PF? Can he shoot? We don't want shooters or scorers.

Nesmith, Nwora, Bey. There are some underrated shooters in.our range.

Defense wins championships, scoring just games. We don't need scorers.

What kind of player do you think we need most?
