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.
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>
Terry Glover Jackson SAR Ratliff Will likely be the line-up...so much talent..yet they won't make the playoffs...shame..Well at least Sjax will get all the shots he wants in Atlanta..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Raindrops:</div><div class="quote_post">Ekezie should not be a starter. I would play Jackson at SF, and start either Glover or Diaw at SG.</div> 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
