The way Hakim has been playing in the preseason definately softens the loss of Swift. Yes, it's just the preseason, but even so he's putting up better numbers than most of the rookies around the league.

exactly its preseason......only thing that counts is regular season actually playoffs..... but yea warrick looks like a super athletic tweener forward..... his problem is that he is built as a SF with PF skills.......he needs to get a consistent jumper and he is set

nevertheless, he's doing this against NBA starters. Most rookies struggle even in preseason, whereas Hakim is playing at a high level. We also don't have to worry about him forgetting to play and instead staring at the pretty colors like Swift would.

quit blowing my high. This was about Hakim replacing Swift, not becoming the next MJ because of a few preseason games

im just saying preseason doesnt mean jack...... a lot of these guys prob slacked off a lot of the summer and are only getting back now or teams are still meshing i really have a feeling he will have a decent career due to his great athleticism but he really needs an outside game.....you cant dunk on every1

Warrick is going nowhere. You can not make it in the NBA by only doing put backs and fast breaaks. That is of couse unless your name is Amare'

John Salmons always looks like a superstar in the preseason/summer leagues. Then the regular season comes around.

That's about all Swift did
Tell that to almost every PF and C in the league

John salmons hasn't really done anything this preseason. He had one decent game out of 3

hakim has been scoring well, but his rebounding has been weak. Still, AS I ORIGINALLY SAID AND MEANT WITH THIS WHOLE THREAD, he's making the loss of Swift easier to handle
