There is something about this draft class that seems different from the rest in recent memory. These kids play with heart instead of playing for money and fame. Already saw Peterson, Yaxel, and Flemings. Can’t want to see aj and the rest of these talented young guys.
Agree this draft class is very good but don’t forget how amazing the top 4 of last year’s class looked in their rookie seasons….. 2025 and 2026 will both be all timers
Better on defense and way more explosive. I love me some Trae so dont get me wrong, im not saying he is better, he is just different in some aspects. Is he going to be the guy we need ? Idk, what I know is that Trae was not so lets move on
@TestTil-z7j he would need some rebounds to be like Rondo. Don’t have a comparison yet, he didn’t really play to his full potential. Before he came in the league I was saying he looked like DeAaron Fox and I can still see that, but that could change. I’m a hawks fan so I’ll keep watching him
First game jitters once he settled into the game he started making better reads but they had 6’9 Cody Williams on him dudes in year 3 and a solid defender
@kingkel1242 he made good reads on a lot of shots he missed, needs to start knocking those down. He seems comfortable with the speed of the NBA but not the size. Hope he starts performing, I’m already disappointed with Risacher as a #1 pick.
The highlights don’t do him justice for how well he managed the game. He’s a pure point guard. He could’ve easily had 15 assists if guys were making open shots. I love this kids game. He’s going to make life easier for everyone he plays with
Rough shooting night for Flemings, but 9 assists and 4 steals is exactly why I’m not worried. THAT is his game, and then when you add the motor and scoring potential on top, the sky is the limit. Hallmark of a valuable player is when they have an off night from the field but can still provide real value on both sides of the court.
Flemings athleticism might be underrated 😳 he’s QUICK and changes pace a lot too. His court vision is also great. He looks really comfortable out there

DP and King did good this game. I can tell DP is going to be a star. Kingston just needs time to grow and he will find his place

Kingston nice look at the iq he gone be like Chris Paul
@Thaofficialsensei
July 4, 2026 at 9:17 pm
He almost had the game tying steal and 3 but they said his foot was on the line. Couldn’t have kingston beating DP in the debut game 😂

Even though his shooting wasn’t the best this game…what stuck out to me was him having 9 assist and only 1 turnover. 🔥🙏🏾

He could have easily had 20 and 10

4 steals stood out for me for an undersized guard his defensive is elite
@zinoskiz

He looks good. There’s a lot to work on, but his burst is super impressive
@treats21
July 4, 2026 at 8:09 pm
His getting blocked by DP and fouling DP for an and one sequence leaves much to be desired…
@JustDejiNxtgen

Same game when he stole the ball from Peterson and almost forced a double-ot if his foot wasn’t on the line btw 🤓 ☝️

@LaSlattance You can never move on, Trae is an all-time Atlanta Hawk. One of the best Hawks to ever suit up
@HighVoltageEngineer
July 4, 2026 at 8:32 pm
He was alright. Good vision, looked like a leader out there, but very disappointing shooting percentage, he needs to be much more efficient
@TestTil-z7j
July 4, 2026 at 8:49 pm
So baby Rondo?

getting 9 assists in summer league is not as easy as scoring since most summer league players look to get there own.

Balled out is a stretch. Peterson balled out on the other side. A lot of missed lay ups and a few bad fouls

Impressive clutch steal and three. Good sign to see competitive spirit in a game with essentially no stakes
