jaywalker72 Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 The Atlanta Hawks will continue their pre-draft workouts at Philips Arena on Monday, June 17, with six players invited to Atlanta for player evaluations. Additional workouts are planned for June 20, 22, 24 and 25, as the Hawks prepare for NBA Draft 2002 on Wednesday, June 26. At this time, Atlanta will only have one pick in the upcoming draft -- #37 overall - in the second round. Included in this group are a variety of guards and scorers like Juan Dixon and Tayshaun Prince, which would fit the Hawks needs for more scoring off the bench, with Prince also filling a need for swingman depth. Also, the Hawks have invited a couple of frontcourt players, including former Florida standout Udonis Haslem, who could be a Danny Fortson-type player, with touch, in the NBA. The following players listed below are scheduled to take part in the sessions on June 17 and 20: Read the entire article: http://hawks.realgm.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 to get Prince we should do. Future 1 and this years #36 or Glover, etc. Prince is our man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydawg Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 I don't understand why you guys think he is good. To give up even a high future 2nd rd pick would be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 I do feel Prince will struggle to make the adjustment from playing the four position in college to playing the three position in the pros. I think the guy that could surprise people is Mims from Southern Mississippi. The guy can score and has a nack for putting himself in the right position at the right time. He's got good defensive ability and a good sense for what is happening on the floor. He's a plus athlete as well who got himself lots of boards buy just outjumping other guards and forwards. A guy we have to consider despite his size is Steve Logan though. I've been a proponent of his for a while now. Some don't think he is a true point. I do. The guy can dish the ball with the best of them, and he has a nack for putting the ball in the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien_ Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 I do not want to trade up for prince. If he fall to us in the 2nd than so be it, but if you are going to trade up for someone lets do it for Grizzard or Diaw or someone like that. Someone who could be the Gerald Wallace of this year.

Premium Member Diesel Posted June 14, 2002 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 I doubt Prince will have problems making the transition. He's better than you give him credit for. He needs about 20 more pounds though. I would still take him though. Any word on his workout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydawg Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 will be a better college player than an NBA player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 ...so, I don't think he'll have any problems with the transition. He seems like a smart player. I'd have no problems with him in a Hawks uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTMAN Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 WHAT ABOUT DIXION? You guys havent said one word word about Dixion who in my opinion is the best out of these two! If the Hawks were able to acquire him OH MY GOD! Legitimization @ last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 ...unless you want him as our BU PG. SF is a bigger need for us, therefore Prince would be the better pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 I think he would be one hell of a scorer off the bench to play at 2 guard with someone like Email in at the point and maybe Toni at the 3. He is a devastating scorer who knows how to get to the cup. I would love having him with our 37th pick, but I am not sure he will still be around then. He couldnt play PG for us because he has absoultely zero PG skills though. In times when we want to run the other team out of the gym we could put JT at the point, DJ at the 3 and Dixon at the 2. We would be small and skinny, but damn we would be fast and athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
