looks like the Hawks are looking for a big to add to the roster. maybe a good piece to add.

Yeah, if he's willing to accept a minimum deal, I think he's worth the risk. He's still relatively young.

Unless a trade is coming the team will be looking at Al, Josh and Jordan Will at PF with the rights to Mike Scott and Ivan as well.

His numbers in Golden State with 20 minutes were game were very impressive. I like the idea of him and Smith on the court as a shotblocking duo.

His jumper is broken though and that won't help with spacing on this team at all.

So you're saying one of them is expendable in that scenario :wink:

If Su...er Ferry goes after him hard I'll really wonder but the interest so far is perplexing.

A bit concerned by the fact that he only played in :
- 63 games in 08-09
- 33 games in 09-10
- 40 games in 10-11
- 34 games in 11-12

I mean, he is atheltic, he is a 3 and fills a need, an uses his length well on and off the ball defensively.

Bottomline (and it feels weird to say this) we need some wing players on this team.

Randolph is a 4, but I would still take him.

he is a PF/C not a three

Looks as if he wasn't used as a SF at all last year, only PF and Center. Still, he LOOKS like a SF and his defense at PF and Center was terrible, so maybe we're going to take a shot at making him a part-time SF. It'd be a low-risk, high-reward gamble. Can't see why we'd need another PF/weak Center.

If TMac and Josh can get a hold of this guy and teach him how to lift weights, i think Anthony Randolph can be a fine NBA starter.

I feel the same way. I always loved Randolph as a prospect..

it is dumb to argue if he is a SF or PF, because he won't be an NBA player until he gets to 230lbs. once he does that, that is when you can argue if he is a 3 or a 4 :roll:

Josh, TMac, and Kobe were all barbie doll skinny but bulked up serious in just one summer. it will be hard, but it is possible to add 30lbs of muscle in 6 months.
