this is big for Terry. When your boss sits by you and says "you are playing with swagger"..

Danny said all kinds of great things about Terry. That they knew he could play from training camp last year. That he's better than a 4th guard, that he could play a major role right now on any team in the league. That what's so great about him is that he's a two-way player--although he's not as good as AI on O yet and not as good as AB on D yet.

He said it was just hard, with the logjam at guard last year, and that it is hard for a rookie to play well with such inconsistent minutes. (Just look at the jump in stats and role that Danny himself made from his 1st to 2nd year in the league...) And the main difference in his game this summer was that he just had the chance to play freely.

anyone else think Danny likes Terry a considerable amount more than he likes Marcus? or is it just me?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

I don't see it as a personal thing as much as who Danny thinks is going to be the more valuable player.

But I will admit having had the thought that if Brad had recognized the potential in TRoz as much as he seems to have fallen for Marcus, TRoz would have got more minutes last year. So yes, I've wondered whether Brad likes Marcus relatively the more, despite TRoz likely developing into the more valuable player.

So it is possible that Danny has felt the need to take up TRoz's cause a bit. And I do think it much more likely that Danny trades Smart than TRoz.

Smart is a far bigger investment than Rozier.  Smart came into the league with massive expectations.  Nothing was really expected of Rozier.  Gotta give smart ever opportunity to succeed.  You can't whiff it on top 6 picks.  Smart needs to show improvement.

Wow hold on JYoung says he's around 230-235 at 6'6" meanwhile Jae Crowder is listed at 235 lbs 6'6"... Either someone is lying or James Young and Jae Crowder are the same size

No way is young is close to crowders weight, but young looks much bigger though.

i agree but i also think jae has lost some weight, probably because he was healthy enough to train this time.

Or maybe from the stress of the whole "side piece" ordeal.
