DrReality Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Totally different interview with Brown than Woody or BK. Fan friendly, answered questions openly (as much as he could) Said that Harrington doesn't always have the best shot selection!!! Very available to host and callers. This is a piece that has been missing for the Hawks. Glad to hear him on the radio. I didn't hear the entire thing . . . . if anyone else heard some good tidbits let us know.

DJlaysitup Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yeah I heard him too. He talked about the draft - emphasized drafting big, a guy with post moves and defensive ability, getting a 3 to 4 year experienced college player, and one who had played in a good system so they knew the game coming in (sounded like he was describing Sheldon to a T). He wasn't much on the caller wanting to get A.I. All around he was much more fan friendly - thoughtful in his answers - and polished enough to easily dodge the dangerous questions without taking offense of getting surly.

exodus Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 The Hawks definitely need someone who is good at PR so maybe we will be hearing more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 This may add some fire to those Shelden Williams rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yeah HCSM - he mentioned the need for a big with a developed game and used the example that when JSmoove came into the league they didn't know he would be such a good shot blocker...still, now they have to teach him to block the ball back into the court (instead of out of bounds or off an assistant coach's head like in last night's game). There may be other guys in the draft like this - but it sure sounded like Sheldon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeacKillsaDevil Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Tyrus Thomas has a good defensive presence but he doesn't have the post moves. Aldridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I would certainly think we'd jump all over Aldridge - but the mention of having (paraphrasing) "3 or 4 years in a good college program" makes me think that they figure Aldridge is a gonna by the 5 spot.

WraithSentinel Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Did anyone hear Tony yesterday when talking to Wilbon? I don't remember word for word. Tony was bashing Wilbon for always bashing Pat and another coach. He basically said "You have been banging Pat Riley for years". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Brown would be an awesome head coach for us. But it's probably too early to can Woodson. Brown really deserves a shot at a head coaching job he is an awesome guy.

tmac13 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 What if we traded for another top 6 pick..The we could get Gay with Aldridge, Or Gay with Roy, or even get Gay with that young Italian boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Interesting. I'd be curious to see how high Billy has Shelden rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 It was refreshing to listen to him. He sounded like a coach talking about sports. Not someone asking a politician asking about some clandestine plot---which is the way BK comes across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
