Mastodon @Golden State Warriors [Dumas] Coleman Hawkins did not hide his excitement about potentially playing for the Warriors. He worked out for the team last year during the draft process and today. Many close relationships within the org. He believes her versatility would be an asset.

Brief Summary:
* Mentions how he’s great friends with Podz. They walked around the practice facility the night before the workout
* Briefly mentions he played against TJD
* Talked to Lester Quinones cause he’s friends with his teammate
* Mentions he’s been a fan for a long time
* Talks about how the interview were mainly focused on evaluating how he thinks & how he sees the game
* Familiar with Chuck Hayes (joined FO last season as Director of Bball Ops) since he played on his AAU team
* Likes the team situation – being able to give the ball to Steph (& Klay) and wants to learn from Draymond & Steve “Basketball Genius” Kerr (his words)
Cool to see Dumas include some clips from his workout too.
Early, but I personally wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Dubs uniform
I’d be overall cool with Coleman Hawkins at 52. If his shooting were a two year sample instead of “the outlier year” he’d be a top 20 pick. The rest of his game and being 6-10 makes sense for the Dubs. He was a great facilitator for the illini when they ran offense through him. He’s surprisingly quick for a gangly looking dude I’m always surprised when he puts the bsll on the floor how it looks good hes not a “wtf is he trying to do” big. Also an elite troll great sense of humor… but some folks will act like it’s a flag. Hawkins really does a ton of great stuff all over esp passing and defense. If he could prove he’s above average from deep he’d the big shooter that’s legit the player we’ve been looking for since Belli/OPJ left. I’d love to be wrong about him in that regard.

Wouldn‘t the Jazz be a more natural fit for Coleman Hawkins?
