Times are tough for fans of NBA lottery teams.
The league is in the throws of a renaissance of sorts with a terrific playoff run that your team is not involved in.
Unless you are the Rockets, the draft holds little excitement, save the daily reports of the latest ?can?t miss? draftee that dogs it through your team?s workouts because he wants to play in a better market.
Making it worse is that the national media doesn?t know your team at all; making it difficult to get a decent read on trades, drafts, etc.
In Atlanta, it is worse because the Hawks don?t have a draft pick to discuss, and even the local media misses the bus on the franchise and its players.
Exhibit A of the ignorance regarding the Hawks roster is the role of Jason Terry.
