<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Sky?s the Limit by Steve Fall It?s become common for talented teenagers to join the NBA. Teams look for upside, and therefore have no problem drafting players without an established track record. In Marvin Williams, the Hawks found a player bursting with potential. And in this case, he already has a track record. Considering he spent just one season at North Carolina, Williams racked up some big-time achievements. He won the ACC Rookie of the Year Award, earned all-conference honorable mention, and played for the National Champion Tar Heels. Despite those accomplishments, the Hawks chose Williams more for what he can become. Most experts believe he possesses more upside than anyone in the draft. After the Bucks selected Utah center Andrew Bogut number one, Hawks Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight jumped at the chance to grab the talented Tar Heel. The 19-year-old Williams becomes the Hawks? highest draft choice since they selected David Thompson number one overall in 1975. Thompson, who opted to play in the ABA, never wore a Hawks uniform. </div> Link ------------- It's a encouraging article for Hawks fans, Marvin's mature enough to understand that you have to learn to lose before you learn to win and the article really emphasizes that we dont have a logjam at forward, its like having bodies at the positions just enough. Good Read Too.
