OrlandoHawk

Here in Magic country, they envy what is happening with the Hawks. They often compare Vaughn & Coach Bud being they're both from Pop's tree

Only if DeMarre could shoot with his defense and hustle

What a run...this team will fight

Melo and D.Will, not bad for the 10th pick

Don't think I'll be able to make the draft. I thought yahoo had drafting capabilities via the app but apparently it's only for football

Say what you will but I know he was sending a message to Ferry with the multiple mentions of honesty. It took him how long after Detroit made the offer to sign...Presumably waiting on an offer from the team he played nine years for and a GM who is new but after conversations said they were on the same page about the Hawks direction

Initially it was Ferry blasting but then took a subliminal shot at the Hawks organization. Can't really say i disagree with anything he said honestly...

If franchise is joke...Y so serious?!

Good for him if this is legit. What's the risk for the Spainard team if he plays another season there though?

Game threads and chats are going to be fun to follow this year with the whining I see already

I kind of understand your point but same could be said for any school. Usually the one or two year players are your "blue chip" prospects that typically aren't going to school for any purpose other than making it to the next level or those from less fortunate families who want to take care of home asap. This isn't football where you run a collegiate spread offense or a pro style, every coach has some semblance of sets that are run in the NBA.

Name a school with more hits than misses...Duke hardly ever has "stars" like other elite programs due to the coach and system. I can argue that Laettner or Reddick were the biggest names to come from Duke.

I see no reason to send him back overseas. Like 89 just said he will have mentors like Al and Brand, the experience he'll gain with 8-10 NBA minutes will be invaluable and he's already a marketable asset for a franchise looking to build a new culture.
