• Three Upcoming Decisions to Monitor

  I wrote a bit about some upcoming Hawks strategy decisions that caught my eye: Trae Young’s next contract, a Porzingis extension, and the 2027 draft pick. Would love to hear thoughts. submitted by /u/TheSecondApron [link] [comments]

• Trae will be the guest picker on College GameDay this week!

• What are your expectations for Kobe Bufkin in the season ahead? Do you believe he can be a contributor to the Hawks this year?

  I made a post a month ago and I kinda still feel this way that the Hawks could use a little more juice off the bench in terms of creation. It has been a problem in recent seasons and Kobe Bufkin could be the answer to solving that hole. I wanna know what you all expect from him in the year ahead now that he is actually healthy going into a season and spent the summer working on his game vs rehabbing.

  Do you think he'll be part of this team's rotation? Do you expect him to make a positive impact if he does get on the floor? Do you still have belief in him as a member of the future here or is it all wait-and-see with him at this point?

• When you know the Hawks haven’t done anything illegal because Tony Ressler is cheap.

• Buffering on fanduel vs VPN to another country’s league pass

  Has anyone tried both options? I used fanduel streaming last season with +300 mbps and it disconnects multiple times every game. Is vpn a better option?

• Bucks potentially waiving Andre Jackson Jr.

  Was brought to my attention on the latest Locked on Hawks podcast by guest @Dlee4three(Twitter). If this really does happen we need to be all over it. I’d gladly take a 4th POA guy(if you count Kobe), who’s also a real wing defender, and nuclear athlete, over Houstan who’s only nba skill is spot-up shooting. Jackson Jr. is a little under 6’7 in shoes, with a 6’9 3/4 wingspan, and has a 39.5 inch vertical. These physical tools allow him to act as a help side rim protector, disrupter, rebounder, and lob/transition threat. If you’d like to see these insane physical tools in action check out the video linked below.

  He’s not the level of shooter Houstan is but he at least shoots a good percentage(38.5% career) on low volume. We desperately need backup size at the wing and an extra high level defender to flank guys like Trae, Kennard, and Vit so unless we have 2 of them out there together they’re always surrounded by 4 guys that can cover their asses and hide them defensively. It’d be a dream scenario for me if we went into next season with him as our last roster spot. At that point we’d have 12 guys who I genuinely would not mind getting rotation minutes. For a team that has struggled with injuries and important guys missing time the past 5-6 seasons the insurance would be really nice.
