Hawks coach Larry Drew wants to exploit the team's flexibility on the court in his first season at the helm.

"We have the luxury a lot of interchangeable positions. We've got twos that can be play 3, threes that can play four, fours that can play five," Drew said.

"We can even move Josh [Smith] to the five against certain matchups. You might see the five at the three. You might even see the five at the one. [Regardless of lineup] nothing changes as far as the action on the floor. I want to utilize our abilities as interchangeable pieces."

The philosophy could see Smith playing center at times, giving Atlanta a different, less predictable look.
