Premium Member Diesel Posted July 19, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Check it out... Something is wrong when you have Shareef #30.. and Marvin #24.. Something is wrong when you have Deke #19 and Horf #18. Something is wrong when you have Josh Smith ahead of Joe Johnson. ARE YOU KIDDING?? Maybe Hawksquawk ought to revise this list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted July 19, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe people can come up witha top 20. I can't really choose anyone before '85 since that was when I started watching I will probably do my top 20 since the nique era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 When you look at players from years ago, you must ask, "How would they do if they were in their prime and on today's Hawk team?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk As much as possible. I know that Reggie Theus was a very good player for the Bulls, but his time as a Hawk was meh... Same for Walker.

NJHAWK Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Diesel's Top 32 since 1982... **** Must have played 1 season*** Dominique Deke Joe Johnson Steve Smith Mookie Blaylock Josh Smith Al Horford Tree Rollins Danny Manning Moses Malone Doc Rivers Shareef Abdur Rahim Paul Millsap Toni Kukoc Al Harrington Jeff Teague Kevin Willis Jamal Crawford Jason Terry Big Dog Glen Robinson Mike Bibby Theo Ratliff Kyle Korver Stacy Augmon Spud Webb Craig Ehlo Grant Long Antoine Walker Christian Laettner Jon Koncak Marvin Williams Alan Henderson Kevin Willis has to be in the top 10. When Nique was out the guy practically avr 20 and 20. I think he even had a 30/30 game or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJHAWK Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I remember Moses was supposed to be that piece that got us over the top. He was too old by then. He could still produce but he really slowed down the offense and got the ball stolen from him too dam much. As it turned out we were much better with Tree Rollins.

Actually, Moses was effective but at the risk of Dominique's productivity. The other thing is that he didn't play a lick of defense. Koncak was more effective.

Koncak was more effective. He was here 3 years. I remember the visions of his last year under Weiss when his game really declined so much that Koncak started over him. Your right though his 1st year he was his dominant self avr. 20 and 10, his second year he declined a little bit but he was still effective.

DJlaysitup Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I would give Jordan Crawford a vote...and definitely Salim and that point guard that didn't do very good but was a lady killer and is now a coach...well...hell...it IS 50 - and we have only had a few really good players.
