    ``You have figure out the different players and you have to show them you're willing to work hard and lead,'' Paul said.

    Paul also worked out with the Charlotte Bobcats, who have the fifth pick. Paul said he would be happy playing for the Hawks or Bobcats, adding he enjoys Atlanta's fast-paced style. He said either team would allow him to remain close to his family in Winston-Salem, N.C.

    ``I like Atlanta because it's not too close and it's not too far away. It's a big city,'' said Paul, who also has relatives in Atlanta.

    Knight spent time with Paul outside the workout and said he was mature.

    ``The workout part of things is for the coaches' and staff's benefit,'' Knight said.

    Paul was suspended from Wake's ACC tournament quarterfinal loss when he punched North Carolina State player Julius Hodge in the groin in the Demon Deacons' regular-season finale.

    ``You take the player you can develop,'' Knight said. ``The NBA is becoming more of a developmental league.'' The Hawks took forward Josh Smith in the first round of the 2004 draft. Smith came to the NBA straight from high school. </div>

    I think Paul would be a nice fit on Atlanta. But then again, they want Williams even though they have Childress Smith locked up.

    I think drafting Paul would be a good pick for the Hawks. When you look at their team they have got young guys who can take care of scoring but what they are missing is a nucleus, I really think Paul would be a nice fit and compliment the other players of the Hawks well. It does you no good to draft Marvin Williams when there is not a single player on your team who can make him a better player.
