Really would have loved to see the Hawks control play more against an AHL-heavy opponent. Scoring is an issue, but the root cause seems to be that the Hawks are consistently playing on the wrong side of tilted possession/dangerous chance numbers. Byram's outstanding hatty covered up some of...

Not sure why that play wasn't using Dixon as a decoy, there has to be someone who can get open when that much attention is on Dixon.

No respect for the clearing route by Clement and sat right in the throwing lane.

They are likely hoping for a version of what the Nets did after the KG/Pierce debacles. They were on a very interesting path until they decided to scrap it and go star hunting again.

I don't think this will be a good comp for Keaton. Five straight years without a number one is the closest thing to the old death sentence the NCAA used to impose. Not only can you not make a pick, you can't trade those picks. The avenues to roster improvement are incredibly limited. I think...

At least he picked a gig where he can avoid more concussions. Wait a minute......

Exactly what he was after and he turned it into a massive self own. Sadder still, his delivery made it clear he meant none of it.

Slightly off topic, but this made me appreciate what we have in Josh Whitman so much. New Purdue AD with an incredibly dumb press conference line that makes me 100% not fear Purdue until he is gone.

Is this a function of having to pick one of women's hoops or volleyball to support fully? I can't understand this unless they just like a caretaker who is reliably mediocre+

Nuance when discussing our depth?!?!? How dare you!

Oof, Julie Foudy...even the little kids are humoring her it feels like. Just let me watch the kids play.

Takes work to have a take even the #9th man crowd won't entertain. Congrats to you!

Is Coleman Hawkins injured? I've been checking box scores and he hasn't gotten any run in summer league for the Nuggets.

Just watched the replay, summer league is a different beast. KW from the opening tip was looking to play a normal game and the Lakers junked it up at every opportunity. Manon for the Lakers seems to want to be an Alex Caruso style player and went out of his way to disrupt KW. Nothing really new...

It's a nice step forward, largely based on shots falling more as expected. Still will be a process to build his physicals tools to match his feel and skills. Ball pressure still seemed to bother him, but a bit less. Still got blown by too easily off the bounce, but recovered with more...
