    What exactly are they doing in the preseason? Jason Terry and Shareef Abdur-Rahim are at the bottom 5 in scoring. How's the starting line up going to look??
    They have an abundance of guys that can play PF/C including:

    PF/C Obinna Ekezie 6-9 270
    C Theo Ratlif 6-11 235
    C Nazr Mohammed 6-10 250
    PF Shareef Abdur-Rahim 6-9 245
    SF/PF Lee Nailon 6-9 238

    I'd probably do it like this for the starting front:
    SF Shareef Abdur-Rahim 6-9 245
    PF Obinna Ekezie 6-9 270
    C Theo Ratlif 6-11 235
    or
    SF Stephen Jackson 6-8 215
    PF Shareef Abdur-Rahim 6-9 245
    C Theo Ratlif 6-11 235

    and for the guards, who's the SG? all these guys can play SF too!
    SG Stephen Jackson 6-8 215
    SG Dion Glover 6-5 225
    SG Boris Diaw 6-8 215

    so here would be my final guess of the starting lineup:
    SF Shareef Abdur-Rahim 6-9 245
    PF Obinna Ekezie 6-9 270
    C Theo Ratlif 6-11 235
    SG Stephen Jackson 6-8 215
    PG Jason Terry 6-2 180


    The hawks have some great trade bait. and they should use it.

    Ekezie should not be a starter. I would play Jackson at SF, and start either Glover or Diaw at SG.

    I am not sure if I am allowed to post this, but I'll do it anyway. Here is ESPN Insider's official Atlanta Hawks lineup/depth chart -

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Point Guard - Jason Terry/Jacque Vaughn/Dan Dickau
    Off Guard - Dion Glover/Boris Diaw/Travis Hansen
    Center - Theo Ratliff/Nazr Mohammed/Obinna Ekezie
    Small Forward - Stephen Jackson/Lee Nailon/Randy Holcomb
    Power Forward - Shareef Abdur-Rahim/Alan Henderson/Chris Crawford</div>

    It looks like the Hawks will contend for the most turnovers title.

    I only put him as one because of his stats this preseason. His stats on the clippers were not good at all. I dunno, if Nazr plays well, I think Theo might have to take a back seat. Nazr is a better scorer/rebounder then theo
