Sorry, I went off what ESPN has him listed as, and his most recent game, and no I'm not saying that he should be compared with Al talent wise. I'm just saying that if a coach can put a guy whose 6'7 at center, why can't Al?
Neither does he complain about playing center either. He improves his body so that he's capable to bang with bigs who are 2-5 inches taller than him. Not to hate on Al, but I wish he'd do the same as well.
I honestly thought that Al could handle the center position. I thought that if DeJuan Blair (he's a 6'7 CENTER) could do it, why not Al? Anyways though, I wish Al a speedy recovery.
Still though, I would've enjoyed the Hawks playing good basketball for the rest of the season with Al and still have the lotto pick than to have both out. Hopefully Al can return in the playoffs (if we make it there)
