#15 and #0

[sick_five]

Anyone have any guesses why the guys picked those numbers? I'm surprised Horford won't be 42, but I know Acie's #1 is taken by Chillz...

[Sothron]

Wasn't 42 Kevin's number? Are they planning on retiring it? I'd be surprised if they did. Very surprised he would pick such a pedestrain number at 15 as well.

[sick_five]

Yeah that was Kevin's number, and the reason Josh Smith isn't wearing it. But Smoove WAS gonna wear it...

[ncthompson11]

I never liked the number 0. 00 always looks better to me. I think law should have picked 2 or 3.

[sick_five]

Joe Johnson's 2? I think 4 would have been good for him...

[Sothron]

Horford should have stayed with #42 and Law should have went with #10.

[DJ_Money]

Lue has #10...for now.

Things like these change.

Hell, Childress was #22 and Smoove was #42 shortly after the 2004 Draft. So I wouldn't buy those new authentics so quick...

[djcorley]

Lorenzen Wright is #42

So, I don't think they'll be retiring that number for Kevin Willis...I don't think he deserves that sort of honor anyway

The reason Smoove isn't wearing it is because the year he was drafted he originally chose 42 then we signed Kevin Willis to be a back up Center and he gave the number to him and took #5 instead.

[sick_five]

Then Lo Wright MUST be traded!

Who are some other players that wear/wore 15?

[ncthompson11]

Damn I cant get nothing right today. Ive got to get the numbers down. I never get to see the hawks play except for highlights so I sometimes forget. Either way I dont like the number 0 for law, unless he expects to be the next gilbert.

[Theeyo]

I remember Donta Smith wearing #15

[newkid]

Word on Hawks.com is that Law actually did select "4". Wasn't that Spud's jersey #?

[frosgrim]

Yes, Spudd was 4. So was Chris Crawford, and Frije last year.

0 is a horrible number, I really hope that isn't Law's number.

15 isn't too bad, Biendris wears is in G.S. But, a powerfoward/center should have a number in the 30s, 40s, or 50s, IMO.

[sick_five]

Isn't Dwight Howard 12?

[frosgrim]

Yeah, and it looks silly to me. 42 would look much better on him.

[bird_dirt]

i think acie should wear IV. old school numerals, baby.
