NONONONO Larkin will definently not slide to the 2nd round, he's projected to be in the lotter sir. DON'T doubt the guy's talent, he's something else with the pick and roll, and is a deadly 3 point shooter, and a very active defender for his size.

BOO NBA TV.

So much talent is slipping. :D

Yeah I don't want him.

So in other words, he's an Al Horford minus the defensive intensity, wingspan, and rebounding? From what I read from his scouting reports, he's intelligent and a hardworker, and with Budz being our coach known for player development, I can see why they invited him for a workout. Obviously I think there are better choices, but Olynyk is still a solid player, and is looking on improving his game.

Attempting to get banned here but, what's wrong with Olynyk?

PhillipShane Larkin, playing bigger than he is. Previous Posts [*]Six days later, another Game 6 leaves us awed June 25, 2013 [*]If Chris Paul isn't an option, where do Hawks turn? June 24, 2013 [*]Has the Spurs' best chance come and gone? June 20, 2013 By Mark Bradley One of the reasons the Atlanta Hawks didn’t draft Chris Paul in 2005 was that Billy Knight, then the general manager, wasn’t fond of little guards. (Another reason was that Marvin Williams scarcely missed a shot during his private workout here, and Williams was of a body type Knight famously did like.) In this but little else, I tended to agree with Knight. I’m not crazy about little guards, either. But I’m willing to make an exception. To me, the most intriguing player in the 2013 draft is Shane Larkin. He’s 5-foot-11, which isn’t just small by NBA standards – it’s tiny. But he’s a skilled point guard who led the Miami Hurricanes to both the ACC regular-season and tournament championships, and if he hadn’t caught the flu the night before Miami played Marquette in the NCAA Round of 16 the ’Canes might well have crashed the Final Four. Not that collegiate achievement means much when projecting a professional career. (If it did, Tyler Hansbrough would be Karl Malone.) Still, Larkin does everything you’d want a point guard to do – he drives and passes; he’s not afraid to take and make big shots, and he defends with a purpose. (Granted, a little man will always be a defensive liability of some sort.) He’s also a tremendous leaper – his vertical jump was measured at an outrageous 44 inches at the draft combine – and a tremendous leader. He was the sophomore who held together a team consisting mostly of seniors, which shouldn’t have been surprising. Larkin is the son of Barry Larkin, who made the baseball Hall of Fame because he was both a superb shortstop and an inspirational figure for the Cincinnati Reds. If we go by general manager Danny Ferry’s stated aim for his new Hawks – he wants players who’ll play smart and play together – Larkin absolutely fits. If we go by NBAdraft.net’s latest mock, Larkin could be available when the Hawks exercise the 17th and 18th picks of Round 1 on Thursday. (If we go by Chad Ford's mock on ESPN Insider, Larkin would be gone.) This assumes the Hawks keep the 17th and 18th picks. Word has it that they’re looking to move up, and if they do it won’t be to grab a 5-11 guard. Still, Larkin would be a splendid addition to a roster that isn’t overflowing with bodies, and I do note that some little guards have done rather well in this big man’s league. One was Spud Webb (5-7), of whom Hawks fans have fond memories. Another is Paul (6-foot), over whose non-drafting Hawks fans are still gnashing their teeth. A third is Tony Parker (6-2), who has become the best player on the team Ferry and new coach Mike Budenholzer hold as a model. So there’s that.

He does have size. He has a 6'7 wingspan. The only knock on him is his weight, as he only weighs 168. Plus, I think he's gone before we have the chance to pick at 17 tommorrow.

VERY VERY nice pick.

Nice pick.

Larkin.......... is a future All-Star.

Question, when can we draft coaches again?

I have a question, could you hear the ESPN guys saying stuff over the P.A. System? Or would you just sit there, spend about 2-3 hours waiting for Stern or Silver to make the announcement? If the second choice, you might as well stay home.

*COUGH* 3rd....

AHF has been PM'd.

With the 6th pick in the 2013 Hawksquawk Draft, The Atlanta Attack select.... RUSSELL WESTBROOK Russell Westbrook is probably the best starting point guard in all of the NBA behind Chris Paul. Westbrook was one of two players last year who averaged 23+ points 7+ assists and 5+ rebounds, the only other player to do that was Lebron James. My team is going to mainly centered around elite all around players, and it is in my firm belief that Westbrook brings all of that to the table.

I'm liking my position :)

Don't forget we also retained Kenny Atkinson from Drew's staff.

Pretty sure that it would take more than that to secure Deng, and I don't see him as a possibility, with only us having 3 players on the roster.

No offense, but that's a stupid trade.

I'd go for the second option, only if we are legitimate landing places for D12 and CP3.

Final score..... 103-101.... Danny Green with the game winning 3 pointer to win the NBA Championship..

I want in.
