Re: Hawks' first round picks

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

As long as they can get the PG of the future from this year's draft, I 
concur.  They need someone to back up Kenny for about 3 years and grow 
into the starting role in that time.  Another sign this team is getting 
better is not counting on the draft to supply the starting lineup! Of 
course, if they could luck into a top draft pick with a trade and ended 
up getting a stud center, that would be nice too.
