Larry Drew: "We have guys who can command dbl tms and break people down. Who better to pass to than a knock-down shooter?"

Hawks are fighting with a bunch of other teams in the mix. The one thing the have is a very good team, no money, a true PG, a roster spot and playing time to offer. I don't know, NY, Utah and others will all be in the mix but we need a playmaking PG. He really is underrated, especially with Marshall going so high and the gap between him and Marshall isn't even large. Potentially, Machado can be better but who knows. I had a close scout tell me Jeremy Lin is very underrated and could be a good player if he found a fit. It took a couple of years but now he's an international superstar and potential Olympian. Isiaiah Thomas was Mr. Irrelevant and he was superior to Jimmer. Sometimes guys just get missed for whatever reason.

I told you in the chat. This pick had LD all over it.

If this is truly LD's pick, then he better give the kid some f'in minutes next year. I'd be pissed if LD let's this kid rot away at the back of our bench..
