therawest Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 After rewatching some of the Hawks games this season, it is clear the next level of development is in offensive rebounding as a team. Sure Clint Capella will help in this regard, but the wings, Deandre Hunter in particular need to crash the boards better. In fact, Deandre Hunter should be designated Trae Young’s offensive rebounder when Trae launches from 30 feet or more. With the offense the Hawks run Hunter is usually standing in the short corner behind the three point line when Trae shoots. That is the shortest distance to the goal and is easier to get to the goal for an offensive rebound than it is to get back on defense. If you look at any game you will see the hawks including Hunter watching Trae in amazement when he shoots a long three instead of chasing the offensive rebound which usually comes off long. If we can get the team to buy into this concept our offensive and defensive efficiency will go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The next level of development is defense. We play none. Championship teams play defense. jayu70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
