Admin capstone21 Posted June 24, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't know anything about him Great height, a shot blocker and rebounder They said he doesn't play hard all the time and he is only 217 pounds....which are worries. Could be a nice pickup or just another big guy who sits at the end of the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 24, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 21st in college PER. He can play. The key will be adding bulk and avoiding foul trouble. Not bad for a 48th pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLFORLIFE Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah i agree he should add some muscle and hey maybe in the next 3-4 years he'll be starting I am picturing Randolph Morris Dang? 17 and 10.... Pretty good college numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 21st in college PER. He can play. The key will be adding bulk and avoiding foul trouble. Not bad for a 48th pick. He's got some ability and potential, but for all the talk about adding toughness, the Hawks drafted one of the softest interior players in this draft. With that said, it will not be hard to get someone who can play better than Josh Powell at this point. Keith Benson and Magnum Rolle are two very long but very soft interior players.

I just hope Keith isn't a taller version of Marvin Williams or the next Hilton Armstrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFORLIFE Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 So no trades... wow I actually thought the hawks were gonna get enes kanter but they didnt. So they just give up right there. This is going to be a long offseason in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Why is it these guys are not able to bulk up in college but can when they turn pro? To busy studying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be a long offseason in my opinion. Didn't the Hawks back in the day waited a couple of days after Dominique was drafted by Utah and then got him in a trade? I hope the Hawks don't give up... some more changes are needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 So true. After looking at his numbers, it is obvious that he is a player the Hawks targeted. He is a weak positional defender who is an inefficient offensive player with jump shooting potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
