This is such a play that 99% of guys can’t make, and it has 0% due to his athleticism. He’s a rare combo of athlete and cerebral player

He’d easily be a top SG in the league if he ever figures out the scoring angle.

He has 99 percentile athleticism, motor, and unselfishness.

He had the Luka assignment last night and picked him up full court every time. Luka took advantage of his aggressiveness some but it’s cool to see the Bucks trust him like that and for him to get that teaching moment so early in his career.

It’s honestly insane how smart some of these top scorers.

Andre still showing how much he can impact the game in ways that don't necessarily show up on the box score. I think his perimeter defense and rebounding is going to be huge for that Milwaukee team the closer we get to playoff time. He's going to keep making the game easier for the stars and scorers on that team
Expand ...

NBA teams are so heavy on analytics that he isn't going to be ignored for his outside-the-box-score stuff. Bucks were a great landing spot for him.
 
Jackson gets into the game in the 2nd quarter against the Celtics. Just committed an offensive foul, though/

He plays way too aggressively on defense at the moment. Love the effort but playing that high up all the time leaves him open to back cuts.

He also had a really nice putback dunk.

I don't know, the rest of the Bucks have had zero energy so the over-aggressiveness might be warranted tonight.

I thought he looked great out there in the last few minutes of the half. In addition to the putback dunk, he hit a corner three and should have had an assist on a nice pass to an open three-point shooter. Hoping he gets some more run in the second half!

And hit a somewhat contested catch and shoot 3.

I'm guessing the coaches tell him to go in and muck shit up and be aggressive.
 
Now 50% from three on the season. But only 4/8.

Hawk is playing well right now but shooting is meh

I still am a firm believer that he needs to overhaul his shooting mechanics. That box score will not result in a long NBA career. They will move onto the next potential player quickly. He is so athletic, has great BBIQ, plays solid D and rebounds but, as I said last year, he will have trouble getting off his shot in the NBA. This is a shooters/scorers league.

His shooting mechanics may be beyond overhaul at this age. They needed to be fixed when he was 12 years old, at 22 it's hard to change

I'm still eagerly awaiting Sanogo's call-up. I can't wait to see him step onto the NBA hardwood for the first time.

All 3 guys played yesterday

Hawkins: 20 minutes off the bench, 13 points on 3-9 shooting (2-8 three, 5-5 FT)

Andre: 7 minutes, 7 points on 3-4 including a three!

Sanogo (G League): 26 points (!!), 14 rebounds (!!) in 28 minutes (!!)
Expand ...

Sanogo is going bananas in the g-league. I do hope he gets a chance at the next level. Regardless, he's going to make a bunch of money here and overseas.

Bulls are freefalling and will probably look to blow up the team with some trades this year. Selfishly wouldn’t mind if Vucevic is shipped out, so the Bulls needed to call up a certain G League animal to play some minutes

Hawkins with 9 3pt attempts in the 1st half lol (he made 4). 20 points at the half.
Expand ...

Probably should have only had 8, one was a foul that wasn't called, IMO (the airball).
 
Jordan Hawkins finished with 25/6/3 tonight in 40 min. 8/17 and 5/12 from three. Made a big three with a minute left to get the Pelicans within 3. Then they had a chance to tie with about 30 seconds left and essentially ran zero offense. I forgot who it was got called for an up and down before attempting a three to tie.
