Trae - All Star, All NBA
JJ - MIP
Daniels - All Defense
Risacher - ROY
Bogi - 6th Man
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
JJ might be all star too, Bogi will probably start but might go with Daniels for defense I guess. Also Bogi is probably more comfortable coming off bench
@@The_Wiffler ‼️‼️for real. I 100 % agree. I didn't put that because some could say that's too far but JJ looks like he's so comfortable he will def be in the All Star running as long as he keep the same energy. Bogi is comfortable off the bench and leading the second unit.
@@muambitangu8621yeah I think Daniels needs to start for defense because Risacher and Trae are above average on 3s, JJ probably slighty below average but thats good for a pf. Bogi coming off bench is something I think he would like more because hes just better off the bench. Would help guys like Bufkin develop more as Bufkin would get a lot of easy assists to Bogi for 3s which will give Bufkin confidence moving forward
@@The_Wiffler yeah his defense on Haliburton was smothering. What about the slow offensive start? It took him a while to get comfortable and we were down big early. Which raises the question of the 3 spot
I’m glad Risacher played well early and earned the veteran players trust. The more he just feels like one of the guys, and not some rookie who has to go prove himself, the better.
No Hawk had the ball for more than 5 seconds. It was amazing. The ball was moving beautifully. Risacher looked poised and ready. Jalen looks in mid-season form. I'm excited!
Finally the ball was moving consistently
I was really kind of blown away by Kobe's ability to set up the offense. He looked so comfortable. I know the shot didn't fall as well as you would hope. But I was really impressed with him tonight.
Zaccharie looks like a player and I love the vibes he brings to the team. Played with a lot of poise and at a professional’s pace. Didn’t seem like he was too excited and moving too fast. I love the visible difference in his body just since summer league. He’s still skinny but the size is much better than it was this summer.
Hearing Trae’s prerecorded interview at half time , it seems like Team Chemisty is in a great place. Trae seemed genuinely excited about the guys around him and he seems to really like Risacher and is embracing him. He talked about how he hasn’t felt as good as he does now about the guys as personalities surrounding him and I think that’s a testament to Landry really believing in his motto and bringing in guys with “Hawks DNA” that are selfless and play the game the right way. Trae seems a lot warmer with his teammates and he was giving a lot of effort on the defensive end. I’m excited.
Reiacher, Lundy, the whole fucking team. It just went well. Fun game. Preseason and all that. Just felt good. I can't praise the team enough
Great Analysis!
My Projected Starters:
PG: Trae Young
SG: Zaccharie Risachier(He Played SG in Summer league)
SF: DeAndre Hunter
PF: Jalen Johnson
C: Clint Capela
Bench:
PG: Kobe Bufkin/Vit Krejie
SG: Bogdan Bogdanovic/Seth Lundy
SF: Dyson Daniels/Vit Krejie
PF: Larry Nance/ Mohammed Gauye
C: Onyeka Okongwu/Cody Zeller
Tons of size on the wing to insulate Trae defensively. Risachier said he patterns his game after Klay Thompson and I love it. He reminds me of Peja. If we can flip Clint for another starting center that would be perfect. Not a lot of options out there though.
We added a lot of shiny new toys over the years like Dejounte Murray and Seddiq Bey and people forget that the Initial starting lineup that started our ECF run in 2021 was Trae, Bogi, Hunter, Collins, and Capela. The only player that we don't have there is Collins and I believe Jalen Johnson is a clear upgrade. We haven't played that ECF lineup a lot because of "The Shiny new Toys" and injuries but its still very good lineup and VERY effective! We will be fine as long as Quinn Snyder plays his cards right(which i'm not confident of at the moment).
I've seen what we look like without DeAndre Hunter in the lineup...Luka Lit us up for 70+ points last season. When we faced Dallas later in the season WITH HUNTER not only did we win but Kyrie(who didn't play in the first game) was available and played. That win was in Dallas and Luka barely scored in the low 20's with 'Dre all over him. Getting rid of Dre would be defensive suicide for my Hawks. He may not be flashy or have all of the counting stats but he will muzzle any player you put him on(Think Shane Battier with better scoring). Without him our Perimeter defense usually falls apart, but he has some solid defensive-minded teammates like Dyson Daniels and Risachier who can help him out there this season.
Unfortunate foot injury to our new 2nd Round Serbian Rookie Nikola in Summer league. He will be out through January probably but I am very optimistic about our roster and this group of young guys!
Nance is a luxury as a third big. Team wise a lot to like, rusty on the turnovers but the ball movement really picked up after a slow start
Agreed. Tho Nance will likely end up being out backup 4, Having him at the 5 gives the Hawks a new dynamic to their offense. It gives the Hawks the ability to play 5 out, and open up lanes to the rim.
Mo Gueye was a maniac blocking that pass to the rim.
I was at the game and was very impressed with Risacher. He has so much potential and the shooting is definitely fr
We needed the Jalen Johnson player analysis. He had game high and looked like the game came so easy to him. What a great problem.
Yeah i just forgot to come back to him. Will address on next pod
LFG!!!!! We are about to have an amazing season
Beautiful hoops last night! I was mostly impressed by every Risascher minute, Vit with the second unit, and Bufkins playmaking 🔥
Loved this game !
He's in that conversation for the ROY.
Trae
Dyson
Zac
Johnson
Capela
My over action to this game was I thought the Hawks played well and they looked better than they did last season
Zach is already a professional player and will continue to get better. Definetly a good pick. 🏀🇫🇷👍
Talk about that Quinn postgame presser.
What about it? I was there lol and will be sharing some audio on the next pod. But it wasn’t like he made big news?
@@LockedOnHawks nah it didn’t make big news. I just found it interesting how he praised Bufkin for playing the right way and then threw Trae under the bus with out saying his name but we all know who he’s getting at.
Was definitely not the read I had whatsoever of what he said
@@LockedOnHawks oh ok 👌🏽
Gave up 130 points that's going to be the norm
No it’s not. They played the pacers, who play at the fastest pace in the league, and it was a preseason game
I know this is unfair to ZR, because he's not the typical number one pick. And this wasn't the typical draft. I always expected him to be as serviceable/ versatile NBA player. But I'm hoping for more than that. He's, in all likelihood, the best Hawks draft pick in the next 5 years. His dad was a pro, so he's mature. And he knows the game. But I'm hoping his ceiling is more Brandon Roy than Sephalosha or Rudy Gary.
Zach is a star. I would build around him and Jalen Johnson to form a Brown and Tatum duo. They should have traded Trae and Hunter
You saw the way hunter played. Noone really wants him. We would probably have to give away one of our first's just to get him off the books
Keep Trae he’s dangerous in the playoff and you got Zac on a cheap contract for the next 4 years
Dyson Daniels coulb be a fantasy draft steal and a mip or all defensive candidate in real life
Ready to move on from Hunter!...Zacch,Dyson and JJ...Big Wings!!!..plus Vit as well. Nance ... a real glue guy! Kobe looked good!
Facts! Hunter needs to come off the bench

I don't think Hunter is Trash, I just dont think a line-up of Trae, Daniels, Hunter, JJ, and Capela allows enough offensive spacing.
The reason the Pacers were able to get out to that early lead was because they didn't fear Hunters shooting or creativity when closing out to him, so they were able to load when the strong side.
Hunter's shot making just isn't consistent enough, and he plays way too slow.
He did better at the PF position with the wnd unit.
Zacc, if in the starting line-up because of his playmaking ability and ability to shoot, pass, and dribble, it would just open up the the lane for JJ.
The starting unit needed more spacing. Zacc would provide that.
Young, Daniels, Zacc, JJ, and pick a Center should be the starting 5...it just is what it is.
Think I’ve hated hunters play since his second year

@MattyOkay i think Zacc on any other team would start at 2guard. But for the Hawks he is too tall to chase PGs around screens for Young. Like he wouldn't be able to navigate all the picks Haliburton came off in that game. But Daniels is better at it.
Also it save Zacc from picking up cheap fouls. He can play the 3 on Defense and on Offense kinda play a 2 guard role. While Daniles plays the 3 on offense
I just think Hunters knees won't allow him to start at SF anymore he doesn't have the athleticism he use to before all the knee injuries. But he can still play PF.
@sweetnessdabutta9985 I think with the size on the wing they can just switch any non- trae matchup on the peremeter. We started to see some of that in the 2nd Half. Dre looked good fighting over screens on he peremeter last night like he always from my view....if anything it looks like his technique has improved a bit. Any PnR involving Trae we can just strong hedge and allow Trae time to recover so he doesn't get a mismatch.
The first 5 mins of the game were rough for all of our starters. JJ looked the best out of that stint but they all got cooked early. Dre won't wont like that always, he averages a steady 15ppg. If Zach were in instead of Dyson it works because he's more aggressive offensively and will let it fly. I watched the Entire Marvin Williams era and Dre is NOT that(Thank God). He gets his share of heat but he's extremely solid; a legit hooper, a bucket gettter.
@MattyOkay that's what I meant. Zacc and Daniels can really just play both roles depending on what is being asked or needed at that time. That's SG and SF role are interchangeable. That's what makes those two playing together, along with JJ, such a nightmare. Because you now have 3 guys that have the IQ, skillsets, and athleticism to make whatever needs to happen happen. And they all can cover for each other because they have the size to do it. But more importantly, they all can shoot, dribble, pass, create. Which is what you need around a 6-1 PG like Trae Young
We need a different center and a different back up pg we can beat anyone I wish we had got Kat
I had so much hope for hunter. But he will never be the guy we need. Risacher needs to replace him in the starting lineup
Zach looked absolutely awesome. I'm sure he'll have some bad games here & there, but his court IQ for a 19 year old is off the charts. With the exception of Hunter, the whole team just looked - better!
Zach needs to be starting. Hunter was absolutely awful. Couldn't shoot, and he doesn't play defense anymore, either. He's a liability. Trade him away, or just drop him.
Also of note - it was a really good game for Trae. I only saw him make one stupid shot (the pullup logo launch), but he was definitely looking more to get everybody else involved. He also look like he was trying (though not very great, still) to play a little defense. Really liked what I saw out of him, though.
I know it's one preseason game, but at least it looks like they're on a better path than they've been on in the last few years.
I know you gotta pay them bills brad but better help is scummy
Stop bad mouthing D Hunter he's worth the contract he never had another standout defender but now he has Dyson and Zach wasn't the best player it was Jalen

To be clear i never said Risacher was their best player or anything approaching that.
And i was much kinder to Hunter than the fan base was
@LockedOnHawks you definetly were super fair Brad, they're acting like he's the second coming of Marvin Williams 🤣 He's a bucket and will get back to his steady 15ppg and 38-40% 3pt shooting soon enough. Whole team got cooked the first 5 mins and JJ and Dre took turns getting worked by Siakam...but I mean, it's the first pre- season game...there's rust and He's Siakam. It happens. Great coverage as always Brad! 💪🏽
@@LockedOnHawks Brad always much kinder to Hunter than most fans.
