How about OMAR cook as a backup PG?

[hawksfan1]

The guard from ST. JOHNS

Not a bad basketball program there.

6'1" 180lbs

NBADRAFT compares him to JASON KIDD.

He can push the ball up the court for the limited minutes hes getting behind JASON TERRY.

He couldn't cut it with the Nuggets or Knicks. But, he did show some flashes at St. John's.

Summer League, maybe?

I want to try to get a GOOD BACKUP for terry.

Someone we can depend on.

IMO- no offense to EMAIL, but hes a 3rd string PG in this league.

[hds428]

He's short no doubt (Spudd Webb was short too tho) but Scoonie Penn really tore it up in his Ohio St days, he's been playing over seas since we drafted him (Greece, I think?) and I'd like to see how he's come along. I read somewhere that he's been invited to Shaw's for ATL.

I agree HDS I would like to see what Sconnie can do also. He was a steal at the postion we picked him in the 2ndround.We gave Hanno a chance so why not give Scoonie one?

[Hawks4ever]

We don't need an inexperienced PG.

[hds428]

Maybe not as a starter, h4e, but like hawkfan1 said, it's worth a shot, and we're talking about backups here. I'd like to see what some of the younger guys like Omar and Scoonie can do before we just write em off. JV was an inexperienced PG in Utah who did'nt get much time behind Stockton, and he came in and did some really good things for us. I'd rather keep Jacque, but Email's got the contract option, and unfortunately it seems unlikely that JV will be in red and white next season. So yeah, I'd take a look at kids like Scoonie and Omar, we dont have to pay them to play for us at Shaw's (I don't think) and we'll need someone on the bench when Email takes his inevitable spill and misses 20+ games.

JV backed up John Stockton.

Omar backed up Kenny Anderson.

Huuuuuuge difference.
