The tie was broken...

Babcock is officially the worst GM in the league, leaving Isiah at #2. At least in terms of drafting.

They took Arujo last year at #8, and this year they take Villanueva at #7, so he can back up Chris Bosh I guess? I don't understand how you reach so much to get a player with marginal talent and attitude issues at a position you don't need.

Unbelievable.

Thank god our babcock is long gone

AS much as I disrespect Vince Carter for laying an egg to get out of Toronto, it is easy to see where he was coming from. I feel bad for Chris Bosh.

"how you reach so much to get a player with marginal talent and attitude issues at a position you don't need."

NO the Hawks didn't.

[Diesel]

I don't think you can look at Isiah's drafts and call him bad?

He drafted Stoudamire, Camby, Al Harrington, Brezec, and Trevor Ariza...

That's really not bad at all..

The difference is that Marvin Williams was the best player available. Villanueva was projected to go a good bit lower based on talent, and they reached all the way down to get him at a position that makes no sense for them. It would be like if we got Danny Granger with the #2 pick.

Understand. However if you have such a disjointed team

it doesn't matter who you have or what kind of talent

you have... They will NOT win. The fact is that sooner

or later in the next two years somebody has to go.

[Lascar78]

I agree. I don't think Al will be here for too much longer.

[Plainview1981]

Unless Billy Knight plans to play Al Harrington at

center (which the Hawks have little shot of being

good on defense or winning with him there)then he

or Williams or Smooth has to go. I think Childress

probably will not be that good at SG(Unless the Hawks

plan to put Smith or Williams on the top notch SG's)

but that is probably where he will play.

So somebody has to go. Unless Billy expects Williams

or Smith to be bench player for the next several years.

but with Billy not understanding PG it leads me to

believe he doesn't know much of what he is doing. some

body has to run an offense.
