Atlanta Hawks: Vegas summer league roster set
Former lottery pick Luke Jackson makes Atlanta's summer roster.
Finally, after much delay, the Hawks announced their summer-league roster today. The idea was to put together a strong group to benefit Teague’s development. The Hawks ended up with five guys other than Teague with NBA experience, including RandMo.
The others are Luke Jackson (No. 10 overall pick by Cleveland in 2004 draft, 73 games played); Jermareo Davidson (52 games played with stops in Charlotte and Golden State); James Augustine (27 games played with Orlando), and Trey Gilder (two games with Memphis).
Teague will be joined fellow Hawks draft picks Jordan Crawford, Pape Sy and Sergiy Gladyr. The Hawks open play in Las Vegas on Monday.

Howard had 21 points and 13 rebounds per game against us in the playoffs.
We lost by a total of over 100 points in that series, over 4 games.
Tell me how we lost by an average of 25 ppg when Howard averaged less ppg against us than we lost by?
Come on, now…

Jamal Crawford is not a PG. Defense is required for that position.
The numbers on the rookie don’t lie. If you are turning over the ball at the same rate as assist you are a shooter. That’s fine with me. let’s not try to put round pegs into square holes.
Sund did not draft him to play PG.

Don’t be shocked next year if the Magic don’t win as many games this year. If D.Howard don’t add to his offensive arsenal they ain’t going no-where.And if the 3 amigos team up the Hawks still have the length and athleticism to compete with those guys unless they get some sick perimeter shooters out there which i don’t think they can afford this season.Just wait the Hawks will be alright next season and man i can’t wait.

Rondo- The purpose of a big is to support the defense when it breaks down. The last resort. We need that and have not had it fr several years. Asking the defense to play shutdown defense when that has NOT been our history is a losing game. A big man will make teams think. I am not saying that is Shaq just that is what we need.

You would be a great defense lawyer Big Ray. Thanks for backing me up on that one.

@ The Real Hawk Yes Crawford is a shooting guard no doubt about it. But Mike Bibby did one hell of a job running the point averaging 0.84 spg- & 3.9 apg for us this past season.

Again you want Howard to have a big game. You have to play defense and then have a half court game of your own. We have not had that and a big that scores will assist that.
Love ya Rondo but no big man no championship, ask the Celtics against vs. the Lakers in game 7.

Damion James did look good yesterday. He has a great shooting stroke. After the game, the broadcasters interviewed him for a little bit. James said that a lot of teams had him projected as a 3. But he says that Jersey thinks he’s athletic and quick enough to play the 2. He kind of reminds me of Wesley Person from back in the day.
As for the Hawks SL team, “Teague Watch” is definitely in effect. I’ll be looking at 2 things:
1) can he use his speed to create good scoring chances for himself.
2) can he slow down summer league PGs.
and honestly, I’m more concerned about #2, than I am #1.

The Celtics had the Lakers beat for three and a half quarters and besides the bigs didn’t win for the game for the Lakers crazy man Ron Artest won it.

I’m not buying it. Crawford can be a good PG. ANYONE is better than Bibby at this point. Isn’t Randy Foye a UFA? what about Javris? Farmar? Livingston? I’m not convinced that those guys would do a better job than Jordan Craford can.
Besides, if we get Shaq, they just need to hit open jumpers.

I remember when Dion Glover looked like Michael Jordan during the summer league, maybe we should bring him back too. Dermarr Johnson had a 40 point game once during the summer leagues maybe we should invite him over too. Hell Duck won the MVP of the summer league. Didn’t Sheldon look great playing in the summer league his second year? Hawks fans overreact sometimes. I like James and was shocked he fell in the draft but I think Crawford is going to be a steal.

Defense wins championships, but great defense is played as a team, not Individually. The NBA all-defensive team pgs are CP3 & Rondo. CP3 is there because of steal per game, Rondo is about the same because he can take more chances with those guys behind him. There is no such thing as a shutdown point anymore. Players like Gary Payton are long gone.

If my assumptions serve me correctly, opting to run Randolph Morris as the only center means we’re going to take a stab at recruiting a big in FA to play solid minutes rather than snag one of the undrafted. This is kind of a cracked out Summer League team….On paper it looks interesting, I’m not so certain with the lack of big man depth how likely we are to go undefeated, much less just compete on the boards. Should be interesting, hoping somebody has a good bootleg feed for these games…

I hope Lebron signs with the Heat, so we can eliminate them and the other teams vying for him. The Heat have only 3 players under contract, and 2 of them, PG MChalmers and PF MBeasley will have to start. That leaves a bench on one(1), SG KHasbrouk, who doesn’t have a single stat for the entire yr.
Their bench will be comprised of little more than 7 warm bodies. Therefore, they’ll end up over playing their starters, much like Woodson did with our starters. Too bad for them the rules only permit one ball on the court at a time.
It looks like Orlando will be our only serious challenger in the East. And with LDrew’s motion OFF, DHoward won’t be able to roam the lane and provide a one man DEF. And he won’t have the honor of going up against our PG’s and SG’s, like he often got the chance to do in Woodson beloved switching DEF. And their PG’s and SG’s won’t have the honor of having our C’s and PF’s on the perimeter and beating them off the dribble.
We aren’t going to have a lot of chances to the top 8 in our lineup, but there will definitely be a lot of changes in the way we utilize our talent, as well as the way we play and approach the gm, both offensively and defensively.

Lebron better sign with the Knicks and get his buddy Melo to sign with him next year.The Kicks are back baby. Please Lebron sign with the knicks and next year Nuggets let Melo play for the Knicks. Now thats the three amigos i will be scared of Lebron,Amare and Melo. Wade and Bosh are frauds.

Agreed Ken Strickland. If Lebron signs with Miami who has no bench whatsoever, this will be compared to when Deion Sanders & Bruce Smith signed with the Redskins. There will be no rings to show for Miami’s so-called free agent coup.

Well u don’t need much with those guys on your roster. Miami would just Sign some shooters. G.Green min, Udonis Haslem, Garrett Siler lol, Luther Head, Quinten Richardson, Jason Williams etc. Etc.
These talented fringe NBA players will def. hop on that bandwagon at the league minimum for a NBA title.

You guys are crazy A team of Wade – Bosh – Lebron instantly wins 50 games at least . . . easily.
- You have 3 legit #1 scoring options on the team, with at least 2 of them being on the floor at all times.
- You have 2 guys in Lebron and Wade that are the premier slashers in the league, and flat out live at the FT line . . and they both pass the ball as well as anybody
- You have Bosh, who is one of the top 5 scoring big men in the league
- You have big men prospects in Dexter Pittman ( Texas ) and Jarvis Varnado ( Mississippi St ) that both bring a skill set to the table. Pittman = sheer size and decent scoring ability . . . Varnado = shot blocking and decent “on the ball” defense
- You have a PG in Chalmers, if not for anything else, is known for his good “on the ball” defense. He’s the type of defensive PG that the Hawks would LOVE to have.
- And because of all of this . . plus the allure of South Beach . . and the fact that Miami will now be on national TV at least 5 times a month . . you’ll be able to get cast-off vets to play for them. Cast-offs like a Flip Murray . . or God forbid . . an Allen Iverson . . who would go to them and play for the minimum . . just to have one last shot at a ring.
Miami will have no problem whatsoever fielding a team of the “New Big 3″ + 4 veteran players that you’ve heard of before.
Hell . . even Anthony “Dad” Johnson may show up in South Beach. And before anybody laughs at that, don’t forget what happened on Thanksgiving night. And don’t forget who dominated that 4th quarter.

Lebron probably doesnt want to be in the shadow of Wade(in Miami), or MJ(in Chicago). So I’m thinking Clev or NY. Clippers are my dark horse. lol!

The only two players on the summer league roster who matter are Teague and Crawford. Hopefully they can mesh together and excel in summer league. The rest of the players are not going to make the Hawks’ roster, and even if one or two of them do, they will only be playing in garbage time.
As for Damion James dominating summer league, if I’m not mistaken, DerMarr Johnson also used to dominate summer league. Let’s see him do it in a real game before we start crapping our pants.

Honestly, Kobe/Shaq/Payton/Malone in 2004 was a more formidable lineup than LeBron/Wade/Bosh/scrubs in 2010. Even if LeBron does decide to go to Miami — which I don’t think he will when it’s all said and done — I still don’t think they will win a title. At least not this year.

Chris Bosh is not a defensive terror down low. Also Beasley’s contract must come off the books to even make this happen. They will have the same issues the Hawks have now, being undersized in the post they won’t even be better than an older Boston team. No bench = no ring. And why is ESPN saying this man will be the most hated man in Ohio, this young man has his whole life ahead of him & this is America. This network is worst than TMZ now. Damn, can we get some real sports reporting somewhere.

I liked the Damian James pick for us, and I like the Jordan Crawford pick.
However, I will love the Jordan pick IF we trade Jamal. Having Jamal and Jordan and Mo at SG and no backup SF (mo is not a SF) is not managing assets efficiently.

Volman,
Tthe Hawks should have let Joe Johnson go to New York.Joe Johnson will be the Hawks over paid player just like Rashard Lewis is to the Orlando Magic.In a few years Johnson’s contract will create salarly cap problems and there won’t be any money to sign Al Horfford or anyone else.
