Player Profile - Taurean Prince
The former lottery pick was drafted higher then expected as a 3 & D player. His rookie year he played good defense and didn't offer much on offense. This past year he switched it up with good offense stats and didn't play defense.
He has elite 95 intangibles and 97 shot IQ and will need to continue to improve his 3 point shooting which is currently at 79. He has to get back to being focus as a defender because if Baz is traded he will become the leading wing defender on the team.
His contract is up soon and it might be wise to lock him up to a front loaded deal while you have cap space. He is older then most 3rd year players so at 24 years old he is a long way from being washed up. The time is now for him to take his game to the next level and earn more then 10 million per year on his next contract. What his role is long term with the hawks likely falls in on his defense. If he doesn't improve that then he likely ends up in the 6th man role who can play some small ball 4. If we had to project we think he starts for the next 2 years and then ends up in the super sub bench role. If your coping the Warriors then I guess the plan would be to make him your Andre Iguodala.
