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.

Sherron Collins is looking really good in summer league right now, He’s playing for Charlotte.

Papa Sy is gonna be the sleeper he might play better than Teague if given the chance to play extended mins at point. I expect Jordan to put up good numbers along with Teague of course and Sergio Glady will show us how well his jump shot is!

lol my bad Master of the Obvious I wasn’t directing the Siler comment towards you. I actually caught on to what you were saying. I was talking about the people who act like we need him on the summer league team. I just see much promise in him at all. Other than being big he doesn’t do much else.

Even a team like Charlotte played Orlando tougher than we did.
Why?
Not because of “lockdown” PGs like Felton and Augustin.
No . . they did it by having the bigs that could effectively challenge Dwight on both ends of the floor. Because that’s key to beating Orlando . . making Dwight work, so that he may get in foul trouble.
Charlotte’s bigs didn’t need help in trying to guard Dwight. When you can play him straight up, and keep him from just being dominant, you’ll have a chance to beat that team.

Chad Ford has Shaq as his #3 available free agent. And Childress is ranked #4.
As much as we are talking about Shaq, the Hawks have not made an offer. is it safe to assume that they are waiting to see what happens with Childress first?

Yeah, Lebron and Wade cancelled each other out on Team USA. Wade had big games but lebron didn’t. and Bosh is a shooting Big man anyway. Just pack the lane and we should be fine.

I assume that if you can’t get excited by the performance of another team’s player in the summer league (James), then you can’t get excited by a summer league performance from a player on our team. Is that how it works?

Excited yes, but i’m just not going to jump to any “we scrwed up in the draft” hasty conclusions (we’ve had enough of those lol). J.Craw 20ppg at Xavier. I think we made the right decision, but only time will tell.

I know this might not be of importance, but David Lee sign and trade with Golden State is confirmed.
“@STEIN_LINE_HQ RT @chadfordinsider: David Lee has agreed to a 6 year, $80 mil deal w/Warriors via sign-and-trade with Knicks.”

Jarvis Varnado and Dexter Pittman are two solid bigs that were drafted by the Miami Heat. Pittman is a solid up and coming big man who has lost weight and can score. Varnado is a solid forward who can score in the post and is a shot blocker deluxe they will both make the Heats roster and will probably get playing time.

NORTHCYDE-get real, and stop trying to make up something in a futile attempt to prove your uninformed opinion. Surely you don’t expect anyone with an IQ to believe TChandler(7′1″ 235lbs), or TRatliff(6′10″ 235lbs), or NMuhommed,(6′10″ 250lbs)were the sole reason for Charlotte containing DHoward whenever they played Orlando.
In most cases, DEF schemes and overall team DEF are responsible for containing dominant centers like DHoward, not the individual efforts of any one player. Their PG’s didn’t have to play lock down DEF to be effective. All they had to do was keep the PG and ball out of the lane, effectively fight over picks, provide help DEF, and challenge the ball hard if the PG picks up his dribble.
Bibby couldn’t do any of those things, and we paid the price as a result. Woodson’s stupid behind was more concerned with doing whatever it took to protect MBibby, than doing whatever it took to protect the basket, lane or our front court. We couldn’t cover their 3pt shooters, cover for Bibby’s NO D, and provide help for Horford in the lane.

Le Boo Boo big mistake son big mistake. No garuntees son because you still can’t match-up against the show-time Lakers. The Lakers still have the better closer,point gaurd, big-men,bench,coach,and championship experience. I feel this move will be the biggest disapointment in NBA history.Artest slows down Lebron, Kobe locks down Wade, and Bynum and Gasol shuts down Bosh or anyother big man you bring in.It will take probably 3 to 4 years before you guys can get a title. And remember injuries do happen and Bosh and Wade are injury prone.

Why would the Knicks take Randolph, Turiaf, and Azubuike for David Lee? Do they really think they will get Tony Parker or Carmelo next year?
I thought they would have asked for Ellis. That would have generated some excitement (him and Amare in D’Antoni’s system), and he would cost 4 years, $44 mil.

Will LBJ cut into D.Wade’s allotment of “Free”-throws,
-OR-
will they carry over LeBronacle’s allotment,
-Giving-
Miami an extra 20+ per. [not including Bosh's]
Miami games may take an Xtra 45 min+ to play this yr.
Seeing as how all their games will be on espn, that means even
more commercial time to sell.[for the 'Boys Club' of course]

Je Je-Calm Down its hawks bussiness as usual. Every summer we wait until all the respectable free agents are signed to other teams and then we sign whats left. Our FA period doesnt start until mid August unless your name is Joe johnson. I just remember the way they handled Smoove and Chillz -last minute is what im saying.
Be prepared for the likes of -Joel Anthony,Jamal Magloire or Mbenga
Lebron should have went to Chicago- Miami is in our division ,im disgusted……………………………………………….

The Pursuit of Happy-Ness!
Wade

Liberty – Justice and the Pursuit of Happy-Ness! Is very elusive – don’t forget they is a god.
A Basketball god is lurking in the wings and he will have some say here.
I was always told – IF you chase the GIRL? The GIRL will run. But, IF you chase the GOAL? The GIRL will come.
Here’s my point: you can not paint a master – piece IF you are determined to paint a master – piece. There has to be a perfect – storm to create a Tsunami. Yeah … Yeah, I am extremely philosophical, but, that is the way I am wired, but I truly believe that you have to pave the way and stay humble, when you do the hard work – the victory is more gratifying and it’s not the pinnacle but the adversity and the journey that makes winning so SWEET.
There are NO shortcuts in LIFE!
There is NO get – rich – quick schemes!
In LIFE – There are NO guarantees … Only Oppottunities!
The Cream always rises to the top!
There is no “I” in team!
We shall overcome!
Never say die!
We could do this all night … But, the other teams in the East must step up the intensity to win.
The Hawks, Magic, Boston and Chicago are the TEAMS to beat … The Heat will soon know that too!
Let’s GO … Sund …Joe … Hawks!

Dang MC, your old job just became the hottest job on the planet. Lol
The crazy thing about Lebron decision is…if you are considered the greatest basketball player on the planet…WHY DO YOU NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER TEAM…to win a ring. Maybe everyone will stop blowing sunshine up his assssssssssss now.
@Big Ray, I don’t want say too much about Crawford…until he gets a chance to play…but he got a fluidness to his game like a few of the great ones…so if he is the real deal…he should be able to light it up in summer league.
The one caveat about Damion James performance in summer league play…is its coming with very little resistant. That’s why these guys look like World Be Free in summer league, and Dion Glover during the regular season.
@Siler Supporters, you can forget about GSiler…I know I drink the Kool-Aid too. It is a niece story, but he is DLeague at best. He is playing with Favors and Damion James with Jersey …but when he is on floor…the game is too fast for him. He still got a looong ways to go…kind of like a poor mans Mario. He can go out and hustle and makes some fouls…but that’s about it. China ain’t helping him…he needs to commit to playing a couple years in the DLeague.

Alade Aminu. The one name that intrigues me beyond the usual. This is the guy we should give a legit shot. Comes from a legitimate basketball program and league. Has a lot of good basketball skills and his game may be more pro oriented than college. The Hawks are not the best at evaluating talent so we can only hope.

I never said Varnado and D. Pittman are NBA starting bigs. They have both started 3 years in the SEC and Big 12 respectively putting up good numbers with Varnado winning SEC player of the year last year. I was just making the point that they will be able to contribute with defense,rebounding and maybe some inside scoring. Playing with Wade, Lebron, and Bosh they will not be asked to do much anyway. Just like “Big Baby” in Boston his first few seasons his role was limited.
Anyway, Hawks need to make a commitment to focus on defense this season. Guys who will not play defense on the Hawks should be sat down regardless to how good they can score the basketball.
