Dang. I still say we select Bey if he's available.

The Hawks already have John Collins and Clint Capela in the frontcourt and need wing help in a major way. He'll be a big plus defensively on a team that struggled to guard, but one also wonders if this portends another trade.
Seems really similar to Capela.LawHall88 said:West Texan said:

Suns trade? Haven't seen Shams or Woj tweet anything in a while.
I follow Shams, Woj, Lowe, and a few others for a few weeks every summer. Then unfollow until the trade deadline.West Texan said:Guitarsoup said:

Maybe. Been updating twitter nonstop and nothing.

I like him, but this is way to early to pick him.

Any time you can use a lottery pick to get a backup-caliber player at the league's least valuable position, you have to go ahead and do it.

One of the best defenders in this year's class, with a developing offensive game that could make him more than just a shooter.
SHADES OF: Khris Middleton, Robert Covington, Matisse Thybulle
PLUSESMINUSES
- Elite team defender who will immediately help any NBA rotation. He is hyper-alert on rotations, disrupts opponents' actions with timely digs, and deters shooters from firing with fundamental closeouts.
- Never stops hustling. Even when a play seems over, he'll fly out of nowhere for a chase-down block or last-second deflection.
- Impactful on-ball defender with the right blend of agility and length to defend guards and wings, though he must get stronger.
- Good spot-up shooter with a high release and displays awareness moving and cutting off the ball.
- Tightened his handle to become a potent shooter off the bounce; he hit a single dribble jumper as a freshman and then 39 as a sophomore, with many of them contested out of the pick-and-roll.
- Displays high-level passing vision for a wing, though he's not a primary ball handler.
- Lacks burst to beat defenders off the dribble and get to the rimand even if he gets to the paint, he struggles to finish against contact.
- Wiry frame may limit his versatility against larger, stronger opponents.
- Not a dynamic shooter off the catch, though considering his dramatic improvement off the dribble he may develop that ability.
