Atlanta Hawks Josh Smith?

[remi23]

Why do the hawks Continue to put him at the 4? He's Way more effective at the three to me. Only of the only players that can match-up with LeBron

To limit the # of bone headed 3 pointers he takes.

they don't have a real starting center so they have to put smith at pf and horford at center, also if smith played sf what would marvin do?

I think they don't want to admit that they made a mistake by drafting Marvin @ #3

actually i think he was #2

Lebron treated Josh Smith like a woman two years ago in the playoffs. Physically and athletically they match up...but that's only half the battle.

It's cause he has no perimeter game, and he can actually guard 4's pretty well.

Josh can't play the 3. In 2006-07 he floated on the perimeter way too much and showed he wasn't an effective 3 point shooter/wing player. If I could wish for Josh to "be like" any another player it would be Gerald Wallace, then he could play the 3.

Josh Smith is athletic but he feels, looks, and moves as if he is 50 lbs heavier than what he is. Other than when he is flying (dunks/blocks/running in transition, he never seems to be look athletic. He isn't quick enough to guard 3's on most nights. But when he tries he is cool, but he doesn't seem to put much effort in non-spectacular defensive stop opportunities.

He is is weird athlete. The same with J Rich. Kenny touched on that before. J Rich is the most unathletic athlete ever. He has bounce but he isn't fast at all or quick.

He's one of my favorite players in the L and what you said up there is right. He is athletic but he doesn't have the lateral quickness to stay with sf's. But josh is still appreciated

only when he doesn't make bone headed moves

And to think he was compared to Tmac coming out of high school... still a solid player though. The Hawks just need to get rid of Marvin
