    How does everyone (non-Hawk fans, I don't think we have any hear) feel about his progression? What do you picture him being?

    I think he's been stellar this year, really coming into his own. In a couple of seasons, I can easily see him averaging 22, 8, 4, and 2.5 (pts, boards, assists, and blocks).

    I think he needs to concentrate on his game more and become a relentless attacker. If his handles were slightly better he could be almost like a vince carter type player (without the excessive jump shooting). But he most likely will be a multiple all star before his career is over.

    I don't like the kids attitude.

    I can see him averaging over 20 and leading the team in blocks and maybe rebounds.
    He's definitely got the potential to become an all star, was he picked behind Josh Childress?

    Yep, went 17th pick, while Childress was six I think (or five).

    Why not? He has a good work ethic and has improved every season.

    Recent incident: After the potential game tying shot in NJ, a player was trying to comfort him while heading back to the bench but he grabbed his hand and threw it back in an agressive way. Something you would see Artest do. But I just see that as him being upset after missing the shot and not being able to put the game away.

    That and the flicking off the fans incident.
