you decide to put a sticky on this post.

--

You're reading Hawksquawk when suddenly it hits you like a sack of bricks: deja-vu!  The thread you're reading about Marvin Williams contains nothing new and nothing worthwhile, except perhaps some lame attempts at comedy by a few posters.

You realize that intractible views cannot be transformed into anything else.  No omelette can you make from hard-boiled opinons.  

Reading this older post, you realize that Graymule's original topic left nothing unstated, and there is nothing more to add.

With a sigh, you admit the futility of the arguments in which you now engage, and plead to the adminstrators to help eradicate the Moebius strip of polemics.

I went looking for where I said something in this thread...I guess it wasn't me this time.   /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Completely concur.

Greymule, i hope you're still convinced!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm still convinced that we don't have the next Lebron
James on our roster.  There's only one.

I'm still convinced that Marvin Williams will be a very
good player for the Hawks.

Did Hawks make a fatal mistake by not drafting a P.G.?
Not convinced on this yet.  Sure, right now we could
use a great P.G.  No doubt about that.  Still, looking
at what has happened to the Hawks this season and the
entire history of this year's draft choices far from
complete, we have yet a long journey before all the
counting is done.

Now, we wait.

This is a classic thread...  Should be revisited from time to time to see truth and what truth looks like.

Marvin hasn't shown any killer instinct on the court. The personality of a superstar is KNOWN... And in 99% of the time, that guy is a guy who lives, eats, breathes, sleeps Basketball and Competition... Marvin doesn't. That guy 99 percent of the time is a guy who wants to be on the floor with the ball in his hand in the big game with the destiny of his team in his hands... Marvin doesn't. In all actually, Marvin could be the next Shane Battier. A player with all the tools to be good but not the personality to be a superstar...

You're probably not tall enough.



Like that's important or something......

I have lost all hope with Marvin.  I defended him and said all the things that those who had faith he would get alot better said.  But it's been long enough now for him to lose the stumbling, bumbling, awkward and unpassionate play.  Shelden was a mistake as well.  We got rid of that one.  Now let's see what marketability Marvin has this offseason.  Maybe we could jump back into the lottery.

[Gray Mule]

In the third year, we're still waiting.  Marvin hasn't really blossomed like we had hoped.

Still, he isn't a total loss.  He plays some good basketball.  Probably should have been
a mid first round pick  We did pick him, however, and he is ours.  He still has a lot of
room to grow AND he's still young enough for that to happen.

CP3 has exceeded everyone's expectations, including Diesel's.  He has stayed healthy.
He has done and continues to do everything that could be expected of him.  He's great.

With different coaches and different teams, who is to say what would have happened
to these two?  Would Marvin have done much better?  Would CP3 have become what
he is now under Woody?

All in all, drafting is not an exact science.  Here's more proof, as if we needed any.

Where is Dr Zach these days.  I miss his dripping sarcasm.
