HopefulHawksFan Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 With the 175th pick, I select... Erik Spoelstra In April 2008, Spoelstra became the head coach of the Miami Heat after Pat Riley's decision to step down. Spoelstra was Riley's hand-picked successor. In naming Spoelstra as head coach, Riley said: "This game is now about younger coaches who are technologically skilled, innovative, and bring fresh new ideas. That's what we feel we are getting with Erik Spoelstra. He's a man that was born to coach.” He led the Heat to two consecutive NBA Championships in 2012 and 2013. They have only missed the playoffs in one season since he took over. He has a career 399-241 record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulHawksFan Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 With the 176th pick, I select... Tyler Ulis As a Kentucky Wildcat, Ulis brok John Wall's school assist record, was named SEC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year and won the Bob Cousy Award as the nation's most outstanding point guard. Ulis measured at 5'9" and 149 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, making him the fifth lightest player the NBA has seen since 1950. There's a horde of people who believe he's too small to be successful and Ulis is awaiting the opportunity to prove them wrong. @Buzzard You are up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I'm happy with who our Hawks drafted but if we had drafted Denzel Valentine and Ulis I wouldn't be mad. Nice pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 We are on a Wildcat run and we might as well keep that going by taking one of their past assistant coaches. With the 178th pick the Buzzards select Dwane Casey as head coach. We feel Coach Casey brings great stability and experience to our young team, whose oldest player is just 27 years old. Coach Casey has shown the ability to work with players with many different playing styles: ball dependent ones like Rudy Gay and Demar DeRozan , veteran bigs like Amir Johnson, young bigs like Jonas Valanciunas and Bismack Biyombo as well as some players labeled head cases or malcontents such as Kyle Lowry and Rudy ( again ). He was hired by the Raptors for the 2011 season and after two seasons of not making it to playoffs, they have won three straight Atlantic Division Titles. This past season he led them to their 1st ever appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals. Coach Casey is old school but with a great knack for coaching up young talent. I think he is quite possibly the most underrated coach in the NBA. Welcome to the Flock Coach Casey, the keys are all yours! @Diesel is up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
