Popular Post CP61 Posted June 17, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Pero Antic was the starting center for an 8 seed team that almost beat a 1 seed as a rookie. He also was a part of the winningest team in franchise history. Is he the greatest Hawk of all time? Hard to say, but yes. Definitely yes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 17, 2017 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Curious if he wants a coaching career when he's done. As I understand it, he now has an option year with the Turikish team to consider. Maybe Bud considers him if Neven leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Pero was an awesome passer from what I can remember that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 His lack of shooting cost us that Indiana series. He went 3 - 25 in that series ( 12% ), and miss his last 17 threes. Once Indiana started letting him shoot wide open 3s, and helped clogged the middle, it turned the series around. He would've been a much more efficient offensive player for us, if Bud just kept him in his comfortable shooting range ( 18 - 22 feet ). But like Delaney, he just didn't have consistent NBA 3 point shooting range. I can't deny that the "movie villain" was a fan favorite. But he's probably the most overrated scrub Hawk player in history . . ( if scrubs can be overrated ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, I'd put it, he was one of the players who most excelled at skills that aren't quantitatively measured, and thus, not kept as stats, and which, on some teams wouldn't matter so much, but in a ball movement team, really did, and all the more so, coming from a post player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely one of those players who's impact was much deeper than his bad numbers. Usually I'd look no further than a C shooting .365 and .301 on paper and declare him a soft bum. Not Pero. He excelled at hockey passes, set Gortat-like screens, rolled well (finished awful), and drew fouls at a high rate on box-out action. IQ and intangibles much higher than your average "rookie." For his salary he was invaluable to Bud's System hitting its apex. Sure Bud went overboard with the three point attempts but he did go through stretches of .400 shooting and likely Bud was seduced because his form was so pretty. Even those who hated his guts gotta honor the One Legger high up on the Hawks All-Time shot list. Edited June 18, 2017 by benhillboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally missed about every shot he took in that game, before he hit that one-legged 3 to send the game into OT. Even movie villains can win a few battles.

StrayDogThaGawd Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Pero is garbage. Surprised he's still getting paid to play bball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I saw him at the Whole Foods on Ponce, then I saw Joe Johnson at the Sandy Springs Whole Foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDog90 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I miss him on the Hawks after seeing Dwight play this year. I didn't appreciate him while he was with the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
