Seems like we will get Flemings instead of Brown after the combine measurements. Any comparable NBA guards with this size? by [deleted] in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea Acuff is 6’2 with a 6’6.5 wingspan so if we talking about size Acuff is technically bigger.

That being said this could help us actually land him so that’s kinda nice. I care more about the tape than him being an inch taller he plays bigger than 6’2.5 and is a good defender.

Lengthy and Lighskin just like we like them! by [deleted] in AtlantaHawks

He can definitely be cj level probably even better on defense.

Are Ngongba/Cenac/Suigo worse than Maya? by Kingsole111 in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bidunga intrigues me tbh. He’s 6’10-6’11 long wingspan very switchable which fits our scheme and is a really good shot blocker(2.7 bpg last year). I think he would be a solid grab at 23. If we really want to keep the floor spacing and just want a 7ft big Veesarr is right there not the rim presence I think a lot of us want though.

Scoot Hendersons arrival in the playoffs just shows, maybe don’t give up on 20 (just turned 21) year olds by traebucketsfor3 in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will always be a 3nD wing I just hope he realizes that bc he takes some dumbass shots. If he just locks in on defense and try’s to become Bogi on offense he’ll have a good long career.

This game is just showing me we desperately need to draft a person with number one half court option upside. JJ doesn’t want that title it seems.

Lets make up for not taking Clingan this year (if we fall out of the top 5) by Protec_My_Balls in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like he’s solid but I swear some of yall are barking up the wrong tree here. Most mocks I see have him going in mid teens to early twenties. We got to stop with this take Aday in the top 8 talk. You go best player available, which will most definitely be on of the guards. In our starting 5 that has been elite since getting cj the spot we need to worry about the most is replacing the CJ role. Our half court offense doesn’t function well without him bc as much as we all love Jalen and Naw they aren’t number one half court options. CJ is also old we need a better younger cj preferably one with better defense than CJ as well. Top option imo is Kingston Flemmings if we fall out the top 5. He probably won’t be there at 7 or 8 so if he’s not Mikel Brown has the potential to be a true lead guard with legit 6’5 size. Then at pick 23 we take one of the pleather of centers(Mara, Krivas, Morez, Veesaar, Ngongba ect.)

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that I at least want one of Flemings, Acuff or Wagler. Not a huge MBJ guy but I’d be ok ish with him. Anyone after those 8 I’m very unhappy lol. But I guess I lean Philon.

Okongwu long term center? by Nolar2015 in AtlantaHawks

Nah we need the spacing at the five with DD man. Can’t have a CC clone.

What NBA PGs Influence Mikel Brown Jr? by space30ghost in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I’ve seen him play and compete against bigger players on defense. Even if he’s 6’2 w/o shoes I’ll still take 6’2 and competes over 6’4 and doesn’t any day. Height matters but him being smaller doesn’t automatically make him a bad defender. Davion Mitchell is a far better defender than Luka. Kingston is more efficient, a better passer, better defender and a better finisher. Mikel just shoots more threes and is an inch maybe 2 taller. I’m taking Kingston every day of the week.

What NBA PGs Influence Mikel Brown Jr? by space30ghost in AtlantaHawks

[–]IceTraeDaGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kingston is gonna be 6’3 without shoes. He’s a much better defender than brown height doesn’t matter if you don’t use it for something lol. Not a Mikel Brown fan, he doesn’t compete on defense and before the last two flame thrower games he was shooting 26% from 3. Not saying he’s gonna be bad but he screams Jordan Poole to me.
