Title: With the 4th pick Post by: NetsGM on August 25, 2005, 05:44:09 PM Hawks select Mathew Marion.
Title: With the 4th pick Post by: HawksGM on August 25, 2005, 07:17:46 PM I really wanted Wells but the Knicks scooped him up. Now I have to revise my FA strategy. Marion is a project, if that potential doesn't hold true I'm in some trouble. I obviously didn't take the BPA but I think I filled a very glaring need but having someone who can at least play the SG position

Marion is a project, if that potential doesn't hold true I'm in some trouble. I obviously didn't take the BPA but I think I filled a very glaring need but having someone who can at least play the SG position I think in your situation, you should take the best player available. Of course, I'm having a similar dilemma of my own now, on who should I take with the 9th pick. Title: With the 4th pick Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 26, 2005, 09:09:52 AM Actually, I think Marion was very close to BPA.
In my ranks, Newton is the only player better then Marion... Title: With the 4th pick Post by: NetsGM on August 26, 2005, 09:21:21 AM Boy Hawks, for your sake I really hope that potential is close to true. He's very much a boom or bust prospect. He could end up being a C B+ B+ A- C- at sg, which would be such a matchup nightmare. He could also end up being a bust. very much like Ivan Strong in that regard.
Title: With the 4th pick Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 26, 2005, 09:25:55 AM Actually, he is pretty close to what Iggy is now...
This TC we shall find out. An outside and defensive bump in TC would make him a real serious player... Title: With the 4th pick Post by: NetsGM on August 26, 2005, 09:32:18 AM Quote Actually, he is pretty close to what Iggy is now... And I don't consider Iggy near a #4 pick. That's my point.

That's my point. With the Hawks roster, I think this is the best pick they could have made.... Title: With the 4th pick Post by: CavsGM on August 26, 2005, 09:41:42 AM Could have gone with Abdur-Rahim as well.

No, he's going at #6 :lol: Title: With the 4th pick Post by: NetsGM on August 26, 2005, 11:07:20 AM Quote from: RocketsGM Quote from: CavsGM Could have gone with Abdur-Rahim as well.

Title: With the 4th pick Post by: HawksGM on August 27, 2005, 12:49:03 PM i actually had Abdur-Rahim on my first draft sheet I sent but then I edited it an took Marion because I really need a SG
Title: With the 4th pick Post by: BucksGM on August 27, 2005, 05:13:28 PM you probably could have drafted NAR and traded for Marion and gotten something like a 2nd round pick as well.
Title: With the 4th pick Post by: GoldenStateGM on August 27, 2005, 05:18:05 PM Should be interesting to see how this goes...
Marion easily has the ability to be very similar to Trent Kundla of the Sonics. Should be interesting... personally, I am not that high on Nick... Title: With the 4th pick Post by: CavsGM on August 27, 2005, 05:25:02 PM The way I see it, this pick ends up being worth it only if Marion improves a big amount over the next couple of training camps. Otherwise, he can be considered a bust. The potential is promising, but right now he is nothing special.
