<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Atlanta Hawks have signed forwards Josh Childress and Josh Smith, the club's two first-round selections in the 2004 NBA draft. Both players agreed to three-year contracts with options for a fourth season. Financial terms were not disclosed. Childress was tabbed with the sixth overall selection after entering the draft following his junior season at Stanford, where he earned All-America and Pac-10 Player of the Year honors for the 2003-04 campaign. The 6-foot-8 Childress averaged 15.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, leading Stanford to a 30-2 record and a number one seed in last year's NCAA Tournament.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
Good signings both of these guys have bright futures, but Smith was a really big steal at 17. I thought smith would go anywhere from 8-15 but slipping to 17 was great he gets to play for a close to home team and he will get minutes behind Harrington when he arrives and Diaw and maybe Henderson and crawford will get more minutes than him but I doubt Henderson and Crawford getting more minutes at either forward slot.
