    Fiction

    JJ will put up some nice stats if/when he is traded, but they will be misleading, because JJ is not the best option as an every day starter at PG. He's more effective when he is involved in catch and shoot plays.

    Fact or Fiction:
    Tyrone Lue will be re-signed

    Fact

    The Hawks need a point guard in the worst way and Tyrone Lue is one of the best left for the money. Plus if JJ doesn't get traded here the Hawks suddenly will find a need for a point guard.

    Fact or Fiction:
    The Hawks will not regret picking Marvin Williams in three years.

    Fact.

    There seems to be no reason to regret him now so why in three years, we're not going to go from being the worst NBA team to a championship contender in one year.

    Fact or Fiction?

    JJ will have a good offcourt presence?

    fact. J-smitty is gonna be a star. J-Chillz is gonna be a 5-tool guy, and be REALLY good, but not a star.

    F or F:

    the hawks will win 25 games this year

    Fact.

    We got some help down low by getting Pachulia, he should be suffecient but nothing special. And we got 2 Shooters (JJ/Salim), and a playmaker (JJ). We dont have any glaring needs anymore except maybe some more help down low.

    Fact or Fiction?

    JJ will average over 20 PPG and 6APG?

    fiction.

    i can definately see 6 APG, but i don't think he could do 20 PPG this year. i do see at least 1 alley-oop to J-smitty per game though.

    Fact of Fiction

    THIS season, Salim will be better than Marvin.

    Fact.

    Right now, Salim is a more polished player and he was the first pick in the second round so he's gotta have something about him. Marvin though, he wont be bad, or even subpar he'll be good but at this point Salim is more ready to take it to NBA players.

    Fact or Fiction.

    We will get more help downlow before the trade deadline?

    Ehhhh. i can't say.

    we'll definately go after curry and chandler, but we might be going after a point guard too, who knows.

    F or F:

    Pachulia averages a double-double.

    Fact.

    We have no one else that can play center except for Collier, so Zaza will get the majority of the minutes there and last season in 18 minutes he averaged 6 and 5 so I see no reason he cant get 12 and 10 with increased minutes.

    Fact or Fiction?

    Tyronn Lue will be resigned?

    fiction:

    he's good and all, but now that we have JJ, and with Ivey, i dont think we need him.

    F or F:

    Josh Smith has another 10-block game this year.

    Fiction.

    J-Smoove went nuts in Dallas but I think this year he's going to be more consistent and may even lead the league in blocks if he plays with the same intensity in increased minutes. The most blocks he'll get this season in one game will probably be 5-7.

    Fact or Fiction?

    Donta Smith will get more Playing Time?

    Fact.

    We can expect something from this guy just nothing amazing like what Ginobili did. Akyol seems like a good player and I saw a little bit of him on NBA TV.

    Fact or Fiction?

    Salim Stoudamire makes the All-Rookie Team?
