THJ Playing Well for Hawks
Tim Haraway Jr just hit his 3rd three of the night for the Hawks, and has scored 15 points through the 3rd Qtr of Game 5 of Hawks vs Wizards. He has been playing well through the series and final weeks of the regular season, putting up 15 in a Game 4 win and 19 in a Game 2 loss. He also broke 20 three games in a row late in the regular season as the Hawks fought for playoff seeding.
Timmy Jr even got some run guarding John Wall in the first half, and it was not a total disaster. THJ is struggling to guard Bradley Beal however, and the Hawks have bumped him down to the 3 spot for streches to hide him on Kelly Oubre/Otto Porter for the Wiz. Still, good to see THJ hold down a starting spot on a playoff team in the league.
FWIW Trey remains buried on the bench for the Wizards in this series.
He was 4-9 and is now 6-17. He has 15 points on 17 shots.
But the Hawks are only down 98-86 with just under 3 minutes left to play.
The classic thread-jinx.
He's getting a ton of minutes too.

For the series, he's shooting 22-64 FG (34%), 9-31 3PT (29%).
I am in fact a big Hawks fan, and would agree that he was terrific in the second half of the season. He was especially clutch late in games, and single handedly sparked large comebacks several times.
That being said, his playoff performance has probably hurt his value as a free agent at least a little bit. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to match an offer from a more desperate team, but his poor shooting has likely lowered his price.
