I do not enjoy the Atlanta Hawks because they always beat or give the Celtics a good game. I respect them because they are a team full of hard working guys but they always seem to play thier best when they are up against the C's. They are 17th in points per game with 96.6, 23rd in rebounds per game with 41.2 and 8th in assists per game with 22.4. In this case I would have to agree with the stats that they should try to draft a big man who can leap and bring down the rebounds. They already have Josh Smith down low but they could draft a center or someone who could shadow Smith. Since they have had a solid season, they are prjected to have one pick in the late first round. There are some solid big men that could be available when they are up such as Fab Melo o Syracuse and Andrew Nicholson of Saint Bonaventure. Although they are both solid players the best route for the Hawks to go would be to trade up a few picks and try to snag Terence Jones, one of the many big men from Kentucky. Over this past season, Jones averaged 12.5 points per game and 7 rebounds per game. If Jones played for any other team he could average a double double because there are so many great players on Kentucky so it is tough to have flashy stats. He has an NBA type skill set, standing at 6-9 and weighing in at 252 pounds. He is pretty much a tank and the type of player that could make a direct impact on the NBA. If the Hawks select him they will be one of the elite teams in the league who can have a solid chance at a title run. As much as I do not enjoy them, they could be amazing if they make the right pick.
