Prior to the draft were any of these guys considered athletic? Did any of these guys lead the county in scoring? I don't think so, but they are good pieces to their team. Now we may have a chance to get a scoring machine in Adam Morrison.
Not sure why so many people dislike Adam Morrison so much. He played on a team that had virtually no other NBA type talent and was double teamed often, especially when they had to get a shot off, yet all he did was score. You can’t beat a double team or the other teams best defender each night unless you have some ability to beat your man, which takes athletic ability.
I don't post often but I visit here 2 to 3 times a day. Last season the Hawks were in a lot of games until the end and we just didn't make the right pass or took the right shot. We have some really great athletes on the team, now we just need some BASKETBALL PLAYERS TO PUT US OVER THE HUMP.
Last question; If Al is gone - who is going to score our points? JJ is great and one of my favorite players in the league. Smooth has the potential to be really special, but not likely to happen as fast as we like, not game in and game out anyway. So, we need a scorer. We need Adam Morrison.
