It sounds like the Hawks are set on Shelden Williams. This draft seems like it really lacks anyone the Hawks could immediately use- i.e. a Center or Point Guard. I’d rather see them trade the pick for a veteran.
Get ready for a lesson on Sheldonics! I am really down on this pick. I say get Aldridge if possible. Trading down for a pick in the 10-20 range to get a Point or a PF/C would be nice as well as long as you get a veteran PG or PF/C with the pick. I normally don’t question picks too often but with Billy running things and the Hawks draft history, I feel pretty secure in criticizing this one. May Sheldon average 10 and 10 this year to prove me wrong!
I’m at the Draft right now…I think they’ll go for a point with the 33rd pick, and there might be some good players available…I hope they get Guillermo Diaz…They should’ve traded up to get Marcus Williams…guess we’ll see…
I think Shelden will give us some depth down on the blocks defensively ( he was the Natl. Def. Player of the Year), but I still think that we need a PG about a million times more than a big man.

Duke sucks!
Agree on trading up for Marcus Williams, I thought they might pull the trigger. Could have had Daniel Gibson drafting at 33. Damn you Billy.

Steve, are you referring to your Native son, David Duke?
