So I guess that means Marvin is our guy; and that?s not a bad thing. Like I said, the kid is a potential franchise talent. Sure, he plays the same position as our other potential franchise talent(i.e. Josh Smith) but they could wind up working well together. If all else fails, the Hawks will at least be a fun team to watch again. Marv and Smoove will provide copious amounts of ESPN Top Ten highlights.

All in all, I?d give the Hawks a C- for this draft. Selecting Marvin could pay off big time. He could be our savior. But the emphasis is on could. Everything with Marvin is potential. There?s no guarantee he becomes a stud, and the log jam created could cause problems in the immediate future. The selections of Stoudamire and Akyol were disappointing to say the least. We could have gotten so much more out of those picks it?s almost sickening. It was an average draft. Not great, but not terrible either.
