    Who should start at Small Forward for the Atlanta Hawks, Chris Crawford or Boris Diaw?

    I think Chris Crawford should start since he is the veteran, but I think Diaw should start to see the most playing time towards the end of the season.

    I don't think either will start. I think the Hawks are going to put a big lineup on the court with 'Reef playing the 3. Ratliff will be the PF and Nazr will start at Center. Of course there is a good chance the Hawks will make another deal before the season starts, but for now I don't see either Diaw or Crawford starting for them.

    There is also talk of trying Diaw at the PG spot. He has some great passing skills and with Terry's lack of height at SG, they could switch up on the defensive side of the ball.

Moving Shareef Abdur-Rahim to Small Forward would work quite well. He played that position all during his career in Vancouver.

    I think that the backcourt of Terry and Glover is just fine for now. Diaw's place is currently on the bench. Of course this might change if he proves to be better than Glover, but I doubt that will happen for a while. Glover is very underrated. He gets about ten points a game. I really like his style of basketball.

    Glover will chose to go back to the Hawks because he will get more money and playing time there. Glover is also from the Atlanta area.

    Also, Atlanta won't be the worst team in the NBA. I think the worst team will be Golden State or Milwaukee.
