Nice efficient 21 points from Hawk tonight

I’m happy Hawk took advantage of his start. A few people here voiced reasonable concerns about his shooting. FWIW, the Pelicans consider him one of their four players who are more or less untouchable.

Earlier this year, Marc Stein had reported via The Stein Line that the Pelicans had identified three young players who they wanted to build around, with everyone else falling on the trading block: Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, and rookie standout Yves Missi. Stein has since added a new player to the list of Pelicans' untouchables: second-year scorer, Jordan Hawkins.

Jordan Hawkins has made himself into an "untouchable" asset this season

The Pelicans are expected to make nearly every player on the roster available for trade aside from a few young prospects and Jordan Hawkins just made the cut.

Another solid outing for T. Martin, 19 points, hopefully he can keep this up and earn a guaranteed deal after this season

If Hawk crashes out over the next year he'll still have plenty of time to shoot his way back into the league via the G-League or Europe, a la guys like Sam Merrill and Ty Jerome.

Way too early for that. Probably something mechanical going on with his shooting and New Orleans is a terrible hoops town. They stink.

He can shoot it. No idea why he has been so poor from the floor. He will get one more year and teams are gonna take a flier on his shooting ability.

Also, dejounte Murray is third worst? That is brutal for a guy with that contract

Tyrese always had an NBA build and athleticism. Looks like he’s done a lot of great work on his handle and passing.
