Where were you and what was your initial reaction when you first saw Jaren Jackson Jr. get traded? Cedric Coward: I was right next to him. We were walking up the stairs, going to practice, and next thing you know, he's turning around, walking down the stairs. And I was like, "Oh, okay, what's going on?" Next thing you know, you hear the news from our coaches. And then we just shared a moment in the locker room. You're like brothers, man. And that's where all my teammates, Vince [Williams], Jock [Landale], Jitty [John Konchar], like all of them, like you share a moment with those guys, like understanding what they meant to you. Even though you didn't know them long, they got a special place in my heart for sure.
“You either have to go all in and build around Trae or you’ve got to go all in with the young guys and start to build it together, and it looks like they’ve done that,” the scout said. “They’ve made sure that almost everyone they’ve brought in has been a shooting piece, except for Kuminga.” Kispert, Hield and McCollum each has a career 3-point shooting percentages of 38% or higher, and Landale has shot 40% from 3-point range over the past three seasons.
Lauren L. Williams: Jock Landale said that the Hawks offered to fly him to Atlanta this morning but he opted to do a 5.5 hr drive from Memphis instead last night. "I kind of said, if I'm looking to play that next night, I want to get there as soon as possible. So loaded up the truck & hit the road"
Olgun Uluc: A hell of a debut for Jock Landale with the Atlanta Hawks: tied his career-high with 26 points, to go with 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks in a win over the Jazz. He was 10/14 FG, 5/8 3PT; the 5 3PM is a new career-high. Some way to introduce yourself to your new team.
Brad Rowland: The Jock Landale trade is now official.
