I'm happy with our lineup.   I don't know how the Sf will happen, but we have good vets and up and coming young players on this team.  This is going to be a Bud coaching job.   People say top 3 in the East.  I think we're better than that. 

 

3zus/Thabo/Blaze/Prince/Bembry/Sap, Hawks are DEEP at SF. Not necessarily stout, but deep.....

Same comment to you both.  We should be in wait-and-see mode on him.  Folks are speaking of him as if it's a done-deal that he's going to solve/solidify our PG rotation.  I'm dubious on that.

I know how he plays, I saw many Euroleague matches. He's a score-first PG without playmaking instincts like many NBA PGs.

That's basically what I'm saying.  The problem, from my perspective, is we need someone who could conceivably start/play starters minutes at times.  I don't think Delaney's that (at all).  Jack is but only if he's healthy.

Ok but That's another subject.

For what it matters what I think, I am in wait-and-see, but I take Delaney's comment that he's been signed to be the back-up PG at face value until proven otherwise--ie, I'm not saying he's going to solve/solidify our PG rotation, but I am saying that for now it appears that he's going to get an honest shot at #2. Signing a 30-something vet coming off a knee injury yesterday would seem to substantiate Delaney's claim.

And btw.... fwiw... it took a season or two, but eventually a score-first PG without playmaking instincts rounded himself and/or got coached into becoming a pretty decent PG after all... we just sent him to IND where he's likely finally going to get paid something that represents his one-time AS status. Just saying, I like Delaney's chances of continuing to develop, that's all.

Sobering if he started. As a 3Rd stringer, the leadership aspect is much more important for the Hawks.

We don't need him to be 'that' guy.

It will be nice to have another coach that can still contribute minutes on the floor for us. As was alluded to by a poster earlier it would be pretty interesting if we could hire Jack and Korver after their playing days are done.

You guise are sooo juvenile.  I'm not touching that with a 10ft pole ...

I love the gamble on Jack so much over having Patterson on the roster.  Good move, Budcox!

Jack is pretty horrible but for some reason Squawkers love the guy.  Those boys in summer league shoot to well to be over looked.  Give me Cotton or Pangos over the brick layer.

Perfect addition for our young starting PG. Welcome back to Atlanta, Jarrett!

Are you kidding me, Peo?  You givin' me summer league hype?  C'mon, sun.  You're better than that, Peo.  When's the last DLeaguer to come out of Summer League and make a significant contribution to a playoff team?  I'll wait.
