• Latest Games from French Prospects

  Love both of these guys honestly. Noa Essengue is the second youngest player in this draft. Gotta develop a 3pt shot and add strength but overall game is really smooth. Noah Penda is a top 3-5 defensive wing in this class while being really versatile on the offensive end. Just 20 years old too. Both gonna be at play around #13 & #22. submitted by /u/WzrdKelly10 [link] [comments]

• Article from The Athletic

  There is a paywall, so I'm not posting the link. Obviously Capela is not coming back and unless Levert is relatively inexpensive I don't know if he is back either of course.

  • Cap space: Brooklyn Nets ($58 million), Detroit Pistons ($24.6 million), Memphis Grizzlies ($6.9 million)
  • Full nontaxpayer MLE: San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks
  • Taxpayer MLE but unlikely full nontaxpayer MLE: LA Clippers, Chicago Bulls, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers
  • Bird rights and minimums but unlikely above second apron: Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors
  • Above second apron: Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns

  Let’s dive in team by team:

  Atlanta Hawks

  Shedding significant long-term salary at the deadline gave the Hawks wiggle room under the luxury tax but not cap space for this summer. Roughly $35 million under the tax makes it possible to use the nontaxpayer MLE and retain some of pending free agents Clint Capela, Caris LeVert and Larry Nance Jr., but it’s probably not enough to re-sign all three and use the MLE.

• Thoughts of trading down with the #22 pick to get a late 1st and early 2nd round pick?

  There is alot of talent in this draft, especially those who are not drafted in the first round. We dont have a 2nd round pick, so I was thinking that if we are keeping our picks and the guy we want is already taken, then there might be an option to trade down to get a late 1st and grab a 2nd from a team that needs to move up.

  Thoughts on this?

• [Peachtree Hoops] Mo Gueye: Hawks gave up just 104.7 pts per 100 possessions w Mo on the floor—over 10 pts better than the season average (114.8). 1 of 2 players (Jonathan Isaac) to average over 2 blks & 1.5 stls per 75 possessions. One of the most intriguing bundles of def potential in the NBA.

• Is Nikola Đurišić still staying overseas this year?

  Last I heard of him, he was playing on the Skyhawks recovering from that injury he suffered in the Summer League. If he's coming over this year, what do you think his future with the team is realistically?
