2009-10 Season Review: Jeff TeagueJordan Crawford:
Boxscore from the 82nd game, wherein Teague scored 24 points and earned 15 assists
Pre-draft assessment of Jordan Crawford: "He scored at a higher rate last season than any other shooting guard in this draft and he and Andy Rautins are the only shooting guards (in this draft) to make more than half of their two-point attempts and over 37% of their three-point attempts last season. Factor in Crawford's age, athleticism, and his acceptable passing and ball-handling and you've got a reasonable NBA prospect."Sergiy Gladyr:
Let's not forget in the disappointment of how picks 31 and 53 were used that Crawford was likely a good use of the 27th pick if perhaps slightly redundant from a short-term roster construction standpoint.

all Hoopinion posts tagged "Pape Sy"Don't expect either Gladyr or Sy to join the logjam in the backcourt this season. Dave Pendergraft:
Michael Cunningham on Sy from this weekend's rookie camp: "Pape is legitimately 6-7 and quick with long arms. Those are the tools for a good defender and Pape also seems to have the tenacity for it. 'He’s a good defender,' L.D. said. 'Ask Jeff Teague. Took [the ball] from him. [Teague] got a little lackdasical with the ball and he just took it from him. He’s a gritty defender. He’s got good size, he’s got long arms and he’s got an aggression about him. You can’t be lax around him.'"
"Now is not the right time. We brought them over here to get experience. The game plan is for them to learn the system and get them some exposure to some NBA-level players.Richard Hendrix:
[Spain] is a perfect place for [Gladyr]. It is a good league, arguably the second-best league in the world, and he gets to play."

DraftExpress on Hendrix (12/28/09): "He’s a brute force underneath the basket with his terrific body, huge hands and 7-3 wingspan. He’s not a terribly skilled offensive player but is regardless fairly effective around the paint, particularly with his back to the basket. His main virtues lie in his rebounding ability, as he boxes out opponents extremely well and does an excellent job pursuing loose balls with his soft hands and long arms. He is yet to develop much of a face-up game and still a liability from the free throw line, two things he must address as his career moves on, but is a highly efficient player (leading the ACB in field goal percentage) who understands his limitations and comes off as quite an intelligent and fundamentally sound player. Defensively, Hendrix is an undersized center who is effective guarding the post thanks to his strength, smarts and tenacity, but loses effectiveness the more he steps away from the basket."

Trey Glider and Landon Millbourne are on this team because even summer league teams need small forwards. I don't think the Hawks' front office has recognized the need for another defensive swing player.
Not related to this post but to the Childress S&T. To me it seems like Hawks MGT is eating its words about being willing to spend over the cap. That is, unless they go out and use the MLE to sign a big man or trade Marvin. I, for one, am sad to see Childress go. I think Childress' tenure with the Hawks is nothing but a black mark - we picked him too high and even though he turned out to be productive, we still managed to both contract negotiations and get nothing for him at the end of the day. Sund hasn't proven much to me so far and sadly this latest move is in line with my expectations.
