.. are blowing up.

And ours are just middle of the pack. Damn.

I think if Salim & Marvin were on Toronto or Charlotte, they would be filling it up. But I don't really know who to pin that on.

Thoughts?

I am aware they've only played 7 games.

Well at least the Hawks' rookies are actually on the team, unlike the Magic.

A lot of the guys in the middle of the first round have been pretty big disappointments, too: Rashad McCants, Antoine Wright, Joey Graham, and Danny Granger. For being billed as "NBA-ready" these guys sure haven't done much so far.

But yeah, Marvin Williams hasn't done as much as most everyone else in the lottery (except for Fran Vazquez and the high schoolers).

And the crazy thing is, I wouldn't say Salim/Marvin are playing bad. I can't say I've been disappointed in them.

Salim reminds me a lot of Jason Terry.

Marvin looks fine, other than the fact that he probably needs to force things a little bit on offense.

Salim needs to stop doing all the fancy moves; all that leads to is turnover if you're a rookie.

 

[ATLien]

Chris Paul: 20 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 5 steals
Marvin Williams: 0 points, 3 turnovers, 4 rebounds

Salim will most likely be the highest scoring rookie tonight. Good for you Salim!

 

[girllovesthegame]

Chris Paul...25pts, 12asts, 7rebs, 5stls, 2tos.
Salim....30pts, 1ast, 4rebs, 1stl, 3tos.

Funny thing is Salim only played 29 minutes. That's over a point per minute..

(In Marvin's defense, he only played 19 minutes with only 4 FGA)

Ouch. Williams and Smith is a bad idea.

Graham has looked pretty good.

I haven't seen anymore Hawks games, but I don't understand why Williams isn't playing 25+ mpg and shooting more than 4 FGA.

Marvin wasn't exactly blowing up college, regardless of being on the studded Carolina team. He's gonna need some time.

Salim is streaky. He'll put up consistently decent games and then erupt for 30+ occasionally.

 

[DetroitDiesel]

cuz all of atlanta's young good players (cept salim) are swingmen.... Swingmen being a dime a dozen in the nba I don't understand why anyone would draft so many and then trade for JJ. If marvin is disappointing you its probably cuz hes the same player as 5 other guys on that team.

Salim is playing too recklessly for my liking, he needs to still be agressive but dish more.

 

[ATLien]

I didn't see the game but it looks like Marvin finally had a decent outing vs. Phoenix.

17 points and 11 rebounds. Hope he can have more games like this.

 

[ATLien]

Marvin Williams: 26 points, 7 rebounds (zero turnovers)

19 point loss to Miami, but those are still good numbers.

 

[qross1fan]

right when I drop Marvin Williams from Fantasy, he has a great game and gets PT.

Damn these coaches :curse:

Anyways, Salim was a nice pick and is doing good(Considering he was a 2nd rounder without a lot of expectations.)
