thescout10 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Atlanta Salim Stoudamire 6-1 190 SG Arizona He may be the best shooter in the draft, but where does he fit? He's an undersized two guard who duplicates what Tony Delk does. The Hawks still have no point guard, and no real power forward or center. How do they pass on Roko Ukic, Chris Taft and Andray Blatche here? I have to agree salim is not a pure point guard.A guard that can distribute the ball first shoot second.He is a clutch player but the hawks will be blown out befoee it becomes clutch time.No center or point guard comes out of this draft !

gohawks11 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 this is great. even though he has a bad attitude he will still be great. i didnt know he played pg but bilas said he did so i think we have found our PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolehawk2 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 That's the beauty about sports...we will see who knows what they are talking about in just a short while.....we should be hell in the summer league though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 29, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Chad might have missed that (a) Delk was injured for so many games and (b) that he's a FA anyway. At #31, BK just needed to pick the player he thought would be most likely to make the roster, and definitely not shoot for the best player at a particular position. I think he did that.

But that's a good thing to have, too. PG will be Lue, and C will be Dalembert... and next year we'll be in a position to add to all of that.

Blunt91 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 It's not like Ukic would have started for us anyway. Apparently he didn't want to play for us since he either missed his flight or cancelled hiw workout with the Hawks today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people think Dalembert is going to sign with the Hawks. Dont Cleveland have money? It really wouldn't surprise me if he signs there.

Premium Member sturt Posted June 29, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Oops... I'm not insane after all, Inside... http://www.sportsline.com/nba/freeagents Kiss Delk goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted June 29, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Can't argue that, Hot... but there's no shortage of speculation that he's #1 on BK's list, as you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inside_Man Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 It's not listed as a player option on hoopshype, because maybe he already exercised it. There's no way he'd opt out. So, he's not a FA - I'll stick to my assessment. http://hoopshype.com/salaries/atlanta.htm Remember - we HAVE to spend $14mil on free agents!!!!

Premium Member sturt Posted June 29, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Morris? Being a Lexingtonian, I doubt anyone here has seen the guy play more than I have. If you're willing to send him to NBDL for a couple of years, fine. But I wouldn't say "whatever it takes" for the guy... everyone who points to his last game in the tournament forgets how his game regressed through most of the year. If I may use Parcells-speak on a Hawks board -- he's "just a guy." A big guy, but just a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
