thesheedera Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I haven't seen much of Ty, but what I've heard about him makes me think that physically he's similar to Josh, but he's consistently more active in the paint than Josh is.

Popeye Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Williams or Aldridge? Aldridge of course! Come on guys we don't want another 6-9 tweener that dominates in collage (well not really) lets just take 6-11 guy and see what happens. He is younger then Sheldon and will improve on his defense And with the first overall pick in 2006 nba draft, the Atlanta Hawks select LaMarcus Aldridge out of Texas. That's it done deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdunkndunk Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 NOT EVEN CLOSE -- it's ALDRIDGE!!! Williams is OK but come on...Aldridge is 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan, he's two years younger, and he's already far more skilled on the offensive end of the floor. And he's going to be equal to or (probably) better than Williams on defense. I don't hate Williams, but he's not in the same league as Aldridge in terms of being an NBA prospect.

KB21 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The kid is a freshman and leads the SEC in FG%, rebounding, and blocked shots. Tremendous, tremendous athleticism. He's got the kind of athleticism that rivals Stromile Swift's. He is currently 6'9", 230 lbs and has some growth yet to come. You look at him, and you see a guy with wide shoulders that will be able to hold more weight easily without losing any athleticism. Tyrus is not as thick as "Big Baby" Glen Davis, but Tyrus is the one that typically defends the oppositions center in man defense and plays in the middle when LSU plays a 2-3 zone. He needs some polish on his low post offensive game, because most of his points come on alley oops. He does have a nice little 15 foot jumper.

Hoosier Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have seen him play, and have already said here that he is my first choice for the Hawks. With both Thomas and Smith patrolling the paint, it makes you wonder about what could be. I would start Thomas, Smith, and Marvin. But, the Hawks may not have an opportunity to get him, since it is beginning to look like him and Aldridge at the 1st & 2nd draft slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 This is a pretty good line-up: C- LaMarcus Aldridge PF- Josh Smith SF- Marvin Williams SG- Joe Johnson PG- Sam Cassel - Maybe we can sign him next season WOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawker24 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I kind of like the idea of drafting Aldridge and getting Speedy to run the point. With the addition of another big of course. Bye bye Al, you wont be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
