Hawksquawk Swami, suggestions

[chillzatl]

We're starting up a little contest of sorts and we want everyone to participate. We're going to have a form where everyone can make picks based on various catagories and at season end, we can go back and review them and see how we all did. We'll have all of the league awards as well as some hawks specific ones like Hawks MVP and Hawks most improved. But I want to hear from everyone and get some suggestions on other polls to add to it.

For instance, one i'm thinking to add:

Andrew Boguts season FG%-

stuff like that. All of you regulars know the stuff that turns into big conversation. Give me some ideas here. Thanks!

[Diesel]

Bogut's FG% is a good one.

How about Deron/Paul vs. Marvin...

How about does Reef finally make the playoffs?

How about Dalembert vs. Curry vs. Big Z?

[ATLJA316]

how about East/West conference standings,

playoff positions,

division standings @ the end of the season?

league MVP

Defensive player of the year,

[chillzatl]

All of the usual catagories will be there, MPV, DPOY, ROY, COTY, etc. As well as some good hawks specific ones.

[chillzatl]

have to figure out a way to make those comparisons selectable. Get specific about what you're suggesting and I'll see what we can do.

[OGRat]

How about these:

Hawks regular starting five at the end of the year

MWills ppg last half of season

Rookie Surprise of the year

Comeback player of the year

Hawks offesnsive rank

Hawks defensive rank

Hawks number of wins

[chillzatl]

Number of disparaging threads about Marvin begun on Hawksquawk?

[shug94]

- Maybe predict deadline trades.

- Predict which quarter of the season has the first Ron Artest "Dummy Spit"

- Predict which team will have the leagues best record.

[Catapult]

Highlighting the recent discussions:

Players traded (Hawks) during season.

Boris Diaw MPG / PPG

Eddy Curry RPG

Sam Dalembert PPG

Marvin Williams Games Started

Other:

Hawk player with most double doubles

Coaches fired during season

[Wretch]

How about who will emerge as the leader of this sqaud by year's end...

[AHF]

One of the stats I am most interested in seeing is Salim's A/TO ratio.

How about predicting which Hawks will finish among the top ten in statistical categories during the season. (JJ's scoring?; Smoove's blocks?; Salim's 3pt%?; etc.)

[kudzu23]

nice suggestions guys, thanks keep 'em coming

[drzachary]

How many Hawks have afros of at least 2" in length at any point during the season!

[Buzzard]

How about Rookie Leaders in:

*Scoring

*Rebounding

*Assists

*Steals

*Blocks

*FG%

*3P%

*FT%

Good suggestion which also led me to this:

How about Hawks Team Player Rankings in:

*Scoring

*Rebounding

*Assists

*Steals

*Blocks

*FG%

*3P%

*FT%

Rankings of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th for each category. We should definetely wait until the FAgency period is over but I would like to play this one.

[yodafish]

Demarr Johnson's Ppg?

Games Shaq sits out injured?

[kudzu23]
