smith sure does look like a pf

[WraithSentinel]

Chill just earn himself another nickname.

[macdaddy]

I liked the fro. He is one tall SG. I think we can tire some teams out with the all 6'8" lineup. Should be fun to watch.

[drzachary]

His fro is gone?!?!? HE IS DEAD TO ME NOW.

[gsuteke]

he does look like screech.

Marv is as tall as Josh. i thought Josh was 6 foot 10. also both Marv and Josh are huge considering they are only 19.

[capstone21]

either Al is shorter then I thought or Chill and Smith are taller then I thought.

[Diesel]

It seems like Chillz has put on some size and height. It's possible that all of our guys can be 6'8 or better 225 or better? Al may be smaller too.

[Hawkzzz21]

Yeah.....it looks like Chillz is a tad taller taller than Al and Josh.

[Diesel]

That may be angle...

But I can imagine that we have a bunch of long 6'8" jokers... I think AL and JS is 6'9.... But I think everybody is long. Even JJ. I think we will put matchups at every position except C.

[Diesel]

BK has never said this directly, But I think he was a very big fan of Derrick McKey... I believe all of our players are in the mold of McKey or Reggie!

[Gray Mule]

Hawks may all be a tad short or long - depending on which

position all these players who are the same size are

playing.

But remember: WINGSPAN !!!!

Almost every Hawk has been blessed with extra long arms!

While other team's players may be a tad taller, most of

them won't be able to reach any higher or "Spread their

wings" further than our Hawks!

Not much is said about this but there is going to be

a whole mess of long arms on the floor when we see these

Hawks. Shooting over, passing around or skying above

them for a rebound may not be as easy as ti first appears.

Hot dog! Training camp is here! Now, daily we should

hear tidbits of news about what is going on! I'm ready!!

GO HAWKS !!!

A very good point. I think that's a part of the pistons' act too. A team full of long arms gets alot of loose balls, blocks etc...

[Lascar78]

the hawksblog is up on hawks.com. There are a couple pictures and a brief JJ interview in which he says nothing a la BK.

But here's a cool pic

Smoove still ripped:

Batista in action (thinner than I expected):

[Blunt91]

Batista also looks shorter than 6'10. He looks more like 6'7 or 6'8 in that picture.

[Nicholasp27]

are u joking?

or do u seriously think u can tell how tall someone is when they are jumpshooting with nobody around?

[OGRat]

Nice form for a big man.

[Lascar78]

yeah he reminds me of another big guy...

that guy

Hopefully he'll be tougher

[macdaddy]

Is there anyone but me (and Smitty) who thinks that Smitty could still be productive.

We know he can shoot. And even with he's lack of knees his D is probably better than half the young guys in the league.

[cyman3]

he plays smart as well. very good free throw shooter.

prob could still make a living playing garbage minutes while the team is up 20+ points.
