I went to a hawks game in late February, and I literally got his last adult-size jersey of the night and they told me his jerseys have been selling out every home game for the previous couple months. I love JJ
Yea, JJ is the man. If he can, like you said, work on his midrange game. Or a back to the basket game he will take off. But honestly, I the Hawks should run the offense through JJ like Sac does DOMANTAS SABONIS because of his playmaking ability and his IQ
Just saw your thread on Twitter and had to come spread some love on the vid. This was a great watch and perfectly incapsulates why we're so high on him. I hope we don't try an skip steps again in the rebuild chasing another "star" player before we have the rest of our team figured out. A move like that is for when you genuinely think you're 1 player away from serious contention. That's not where the team was when we traded for DJ ,and that's not where the team is now that we've traded him away. Now who knows, what if we get lucky and, Jalen takes a Maxey like leap, Dyson breaks out on both sides of the ball, Risacher is a high level contributor for a rookie, O solidifies himself as our center of the future, Trae has a massive bounce back season with no Dejounte and not as much of Capela holding him back on offense, the entirety of our questionable bench steps up, the team finally has a really good year of consistent play from start to finish, and we have a non fraudulent deep playoff run next season? At that point maybe you want to start packaging assets to get players that put you over the top. But until something like that happens its only going to shorten our window again once it doesn't work out. It seems like the FO learned its lesson by not making moves for players like BI and, Siakam and just doubling down on the problem. Now we're gonna see Jalen get a chance to have another breakout year as our number 2 guy. Hopefully he'll only have to deal with little (or no) Capela clogging the lane for him. With limited assets moving forward now, we're only going to go as high as him and Trae can carry us. Hopefully that's eventually to or near the top of the conference. This is the best I've felt about the team in long time. I realize that none of that stuff i said about our players or the team is guaranteed, or even super likely to happen, but the thought "maybe it could", makes me exited for the teams future. Thanks for showing our guy some love and putting on for him. You earned a sub.
@@bkken2990 First off I appreciate the kind words fr 🙏 But I couldn’t agree more with what you said. It’s like it took the Hawks getting the #1 pick to realize they’ve got to build this thing the right way. Adding Dej was never gonna put them over the top. You’ve got to develop your guys and get to a point where you’re one move away (like you said) before you make that type of play. Like you said I have no idea how this season will go for the Hawks but to me they’re on the right track in terms how you’re supposed to build a team
Really good question bro. I think surrounding Trae with length is really important and Dyson is a really good defender so I would probably go Trae, Dyson, Zac, Jalen, Onyeka. It all hinges on where Dyson's shooting is in training camp. If it's not there I could see Quinn going Bogey as well as obviously Deandre for Zac if they don't feel Zac is ready. But to me this is a retool year and I want to see what I have in Zac/Dyson so i'd rock with them right away. Bogey in a flame thrower role off the bench and Deandre can still play 25+ min / close games for when Zac doesn't have it.
I'd also say, that despite last season, I think Quin Snyder is a good coach so I would trust whatever he ends up rolling with based off of what he sees in camp
@@malagadrivehoops6634 Appreciate the response bro and I definitely share the same opinion on the starting line-up. I think moving on from Capela is a step in a better direction, giving Trae a more versatile 5 should open up the offense in a way he's only been able to experience with a few bench guys they've had in the past. Atlanta looks ready to be able to run a very switchable defense. Hoping this could be the season we finally see the team mesh. Also I love the appreciation you show for basketball in your videos, I found your channel yesterday and binged a few of your videos.I hope you keep growing!
@@benzini-ce6bm Yeah bro I completely agree, I honestly have no idea how Clint is still a Hawk at this point 😂 But yes absolutely, surrounding Trae with switchable, long, rangey defenders is the move. Really appreciate the kind words bro, it means a lot 🙏❤️ I’ll keep going

Yes sirrrr 🙏 appreciate you bro
Here via your Twitter thread 💪
@@GlennMcComb thanks for watching man! 🙏
Do you have an opinion on what the best starting lineup would be for the Hawks this season?
Really good question bro.

Who’s a guy your high on for next season?
Lowkey guy or just like anyone?
@@malagadrivehoops6634lowkey guy for sure
@@legit4506my bad bro I missed this. Super super lowkey AJ Griffin.
More popular player pick would be like Brandon Miller
@@legit4506oh Jarace Walker another really lowkey guy
Austin Reeves is not A Fan 😎
