Why did this get moved? Jordan was a Hawk draft pick, no one just forgets people just because the front office decides to make a bad pick.

Lucas Nogueira should have been our pick this upcoming summer but we gave that oppurtunity away.

Wonder why only 2 people have responded to this thread at this point? Everyone pretty much acknowledges what most of us knew from the day LD was named coach at this point, he was another bad choice by this franchise and they are tired of even thinking about the incompetent joke.

Yeah, and you also seem to think Hinrich is some great addition even though the numbers say otherwise.

Corey Fisher did nothing to hurt his stock as Nova was put out of the tourny. I think he is going to be a Kyle Lowry clone down the road. He may be more of a scoring PG which will be a knock on him by some but he can play. Trey Thompson for Georgia is a big time player. He dominated against the smaller Washington front line even though Georgia was sent packing. The only knock I can see on him is that he does not offer any resistance at the rim on defense. He does everything else pretty well. Travis Leslie for Georgia did nothing to change the perception that he is pretty much a athlete not complete basketball player yet. Scotty Hopson for Tennessee looked as bad as the rest of his teammates. The guy looked like he would rather be somewhere else and I don't understand how you do that in the NCAA tourny. If you want a guy to bring it no matter what he is not worth a pick. Keith Benson for Oakland did nothing to answer the questions about him simply being the best player in a weak Mid Major conference. He got outplayed by Texas big men all day no matter what his stats say. Tristan Thompson beasted him. He is not use to playing against player that are even close to his size. He is truly a project and could spend more time in the D League and overseas than NBA.

Why?

Jordan Crawford scored another 25 points on 3/18/11. Shot 44% which most coaches would take from a SG. He is a player and trading him was a horrible move. Especially since the Hawks are 5-8 since trading for Mr. Lateral Move.

Kirk Hinrich really turned this ship around

John Jenkins had a decent game in the tourny. He is what he is. He can score off of picks and screens and is a knock down shooter. I think he could give someone a quality 12 to 15 minutes a night in the league. Jeffrey Taylor is a athlete not a basketball player. He is not a great athlete when facing tough competition or contact either. He had his shot blocked several time against Richmond as they were sent home. His jumper is streaky at best and he does not use that athletic ability to play superb D. He needs to stay in school or he will end up out the league 3 years max.He is not a NBA player right now.

Josh Smith is never going to change for good. Meaning he will not change and stay changed, he likes the easy way out. The only reason to bring Josh back is if we really thought we could sign Howard and that is most likely not happening. So, why not trade Josh for some real hope and a little depth while your going. Cleveland and the Clippers made a swap of Baron Davis and a unprotected lottery pick this year for Mo Williams. You may ask why would the Clip give up so much for Mo Williams whom is probably not as good as Baron Davis, well they did it to get rid of Davis contract and they don't think much of this draft. That seems to be the public consensus that this draft is weak but I think that is being overstated. Nevertheless, some times you just have to test the situation to see if it is really as bad or good as someone says. Thus, I think the Hawks should call up the Warriors and g

It would take that team 3 to 5 years to even sniff the playoffs again.

Festus Ezeli is not NBA ready. His numbers looked good in the game against Richmond as they were sent packing but he does not finish well enough even around the rim when he has the advantage every night in college. He also does not rebound outside his area which leads me to wonder about his motor and does he really like basketball or if he just has nice size to play the sport and is taking advantage of this chance to get ahead financially in life. I am not a fan.

Many people have been hoping that since the 1st 2nd round sweep. This will be 3 years in a row when the team is badly outplayed in the round in which they lose and nothing will happen unless we get another owner.

Dee Bost is not in the NCAA tourny and that is what this thread is dedicated to. Nikola Vucevic from USC sucks. I don’t care how he measures at the combine if he comes out. The guy could not even dominate the mid major VCU. He may come out but does not have that dog in him to dominate even when he has a clear mismatch.

Yes, you and your life will be very forgettable at the end
