Some said he was the best defender in the nation

Kind of like how Kolek was the best assist man in the country

I almost forgot about McCullar, but if his knee holds up he's going to be a good piece for us

We're rich!

That's why I trust in Dadiet. The others from his class are more mature.

What a show out by McCullar. As Clyde would say he was omnipresent and omnipotent. He was everywhere the ball went. Guy has a nose for the ball

Regardless of his age, Dadiet will at some point this season need to string together some minutes like McCullar just did or at least show some dominant traits in G League or they'll bail on him.

Not sure why he is on the main roster. Would prefer to see him getting playing time in G League.

MCCullar has impressed already more then Gershon Yo Gershon lose 10 lbs fast. Don't get a eating disorder but do more cardio and watch what you eat. Your too slow and can't jump. Go play in the G League. You got talent but your physically not in shape

Let's just say they can cook at different temperature and methods. What if it turns out Dadiet and Diawara emerge as our forwards in a few years as a tandem. Let's be patient. Maybe Diawara has the higher floor and Diawara a higher ceiling ?
I hope so

Thibs developed some guys but nobody beyond about #2 on the depth chart.

Remember just a few years ago Atlanta had all the young players that looked so promising, like a future team on the verge of greatness. What happened ?

The NBA changed the rules that Trae was exploiting.

Is Kevin Mcculler playing the 4 ? Is he going to take Gershons spot ?

But they had all these young wings, they had drafted so many good players it appeared at the time. It all fell apart so quickly.

That tends to happen when your franchise player is not a player you can build around. Young is a flashy player like LaMelo Ball, but he's not a winner.

Unless he's playing New York.

You mean the series where Julius Randle decided to crawl up inside his butthole to hide from the Hawks?

Well instead of Elf, Nerlens Noel and Rose with a foot in the retirement home we got JB, Mitch and Kolek.

One of his best games of the season

Maybe Brown is getting through to him

or maybe the Hawks are an easier matchup for him

either way, well played game by KAT

The sad truth, and regardless of the reason, is that he pretty much owns us.
