    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] draft andrew and traded him to philly for kyle korver and sammy. that would just solve the problem. Philly could use a 7footer that can score and dish. Allen would love to have him. pg Iverson
    sg green
    sf Andre
    pf Webber
    c Bogut

    No need to double post, just put it in one post or edit it. Shape we have Josh Smith at SF and Al Harrington at PF. PF seems like more of a natural position for Harrington to me, he's big and he's a good post up player, and J-Smoove cant gaurd PF's in the NBA, gosh if he could we'd be very darn lucky cause then he could gaurd SG-PF and play SG-SF and possibly PF if he develops a better post up game.

    Ah ok, I thought it was the reverse this whole time. Thanks for the clarification.

    I think Josh Smith would be better off defending bigs such as KG, Dirk, Amare etc. rather than Al. Harrington isn't the greatest defender, he doesn't have the quicks to keep up with these defenders, and he's not long enough and versatile enough to cover that kind of ground versus them. Smith has the quicks, length, covers enough ground, and he's actually a good defender, to cover these kind of bigs. He can draw comparasions to Shawn Marion on the defensive of things if he guards these PF's. If he can put the work in and given the chance, I think he can become a Marion type defender and overall player.

    I think it's simple what the Hawks should do, Draft Bogut.

    Paul if he declares, Bogut if they plan on trading childress or smith, Deron or Felton if neither of those 2 happen

    I think they would benifit the most if they drafted Bogut. They need a good post man that can score down low and rebound. Bogut is also a great passer out of the post. The Hawks have a few decent perimeter players but what Im think they need the most is a big man.
