I like the idea of Price helping our teams shooting. He was one of the best shooters in league history. He can help our guys with FT% too. Great pickup

Big fan of Price. Definitely one of the greatest shooters of all time.

Great news!

Price wanted to be a part of the Hawks when Woodson was first hired, but was turned down. I hope Price also can bring some organizational skills to the Hawks as well. From what I hear, Woodson's practices aren't all that well organized.

Good deal! I've always been a big Mark Price fan. Glad to hear that Woody wanted a shooting coach on the staff too. I think Mark can help all our guys with their fundamentals as his are as sound as anyone's EVER. Just as importantly though, I think he will help already good shooters like JJ and Marvin with the mental aspect of shooting. I like it!

Needed this for years.

Best move by Sund so far, IMO.

Price was an amazing shooter with a very quick release. He was the man and I actually saw him at Lennox Mall on my first day in Atlanta haha.

Very good move. I just wish we had a time machine that we could put him into and take him back a few years.

Good to see Duane back too. One of the most underrated Hawks' Alum

Aside from resigning Smoove, this could be the best move made in the offseason, IMHO. I've wondered why we never went after this cat, with the brick layers we've had on this team. Mark Price may help us in ways we've never seen.

Duane is a great guy. He use to come by my store and buy Dragonball Z products for his boys. I had to try hard not to look at his wife because she was awesome. :worshippy: :worshippy:

My thoughts exactly.

[Plastic Man]

This is huge--a great but overdue move. I just hope he gets the respect he deserves.

[High5]

I don't know how much he can help, but he definitely can't hurt.

[PureGreatness]

i hope he helps smoove.

[capstone21]

i hope he helps smoove.

Me too, his jumpshot needs the most help

[TruJerz]

good addition for the Hawks staff..he can help out some guys especially JSmooth and even Acie Law with that 3point shot. Price was a hell of a player. Calderon reminds me of him...take a look:

i hope he helps smoove.

That might be asking too much... :angel19:

I hope he can help Marvin extend his range...

[aznsensation]

This is why Hawksquawk is so great. I get all my news and entertainment here. Season opener is just around the corner man I can't wait. Thanks Capstone!

[EazyRoc]

Finally!! I've been talking about hiring a shooting coach for at least a year now (before here, I was on the AJC blog). I think this helps Marvin the most, because he only has a few tweaks in his form before he is a very good shooter. I think Josh Smith's shot will improve, but his shot is so inconsistent it may take him a full season before we see the results.

All the "little" moves that are being made this off-season may add up to a big difference

in the total results for the upcoming season.

I like the way things are falling in place so far.
