At this point I just want to see a roster. Unless Teague is gonna be spending his summer mastering the lost art of the self-oop.

Hoopinion's blogpost cited Scott Schröder of Rid Ups, and noted James Augustine may join the Hawks next week anyway after his cup of tea with the Jazz.

Tangential Hawks Notes From the First Day of Summer League

I didn't get to sit and watch the summer league action yesterday (that'll have to wait until next week) but here are some notes of possible interest...

James Augustine may play for the Hawks in Vegas. He's playing for the Jazz in Orlando and impressed Scott Schröder of Ridiculous Upside:

Boy oh boy did I like Augustine's game (and semi-fro hair) today. When breaking down the Jazz Summer League roster, I opined that "If Augustine actually asserts himself, he moves up a couple of spots on my invisible ranking system of free agent power forwards - he's got good size, he's athletic and he knows how to play basketball. Unfortunately, he never really seems to put that all together." The 6-foot-10 big man put it together today, though, as he scored 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting while playing just over 21 minutes of action. He also had the highest +/- on the Jazz with +12 while rendering second round pick Jeremy Evans and RU favorite Rod Benson useless on the bench. If the unstoppably awkward lefty-hook is indeed part of his expanded arsenal and he's able to perform this well every game, I'd be surprised if he's not on an NBA roster next season.

I've always like[d] Augustine as an end-of-the-rotation NBA big and would support his acquisition to be the fourth or fifth big in Atlanta next season should the Hawks fill out the roster with minimum salaries.

Garret Siler continues to be huge, unproductive. He made one of two field goals for the summer Nets but grabbed just one rebound in 9:52. He's just too slow and grounded to compete against NBA players.

For any Othello Hunter watchers, he'll be on the Nuggets team.

Any of the Utah Flash guys going to make this roster? I wouldn't mind giving Dontell Jefferson, Orien Greene, or Kevin Kruger a spin.
