Atlanta Hawks 2010 Draft PreviewBasketball Betting Lines06/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The winds of change are blowing in Dixie but the weather brewing might be a bit chaotic. Mike Woodson built the Atlanta Hawks from a 13-win team to a 53-win club but a poor performance in the playoffs against Southeast Division rival Orlando was enough for the team's front office to decide change was needed. The Hawks certainly didn't pull a 180, however, and went with Woodson's lead assistant Larry Drew as the new mentor. Drew inherits a solid, youthful core to build upon but will likely be without All-Star shooting guard Joe Johnson, who is an unrestricted free agent and expected to move on. Forward Josh Smith and center Al Horford are the stars, while veteran point guard Mike Bibby is still a steady quarterback and Jamal Crawford is coming off a season in which he was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. Forwards Marvin Williams and Maurice Evans, along with center Zaza Pachulia and second-year guard Jeff Teague are all solid rotational players. Horford is the type of banger every team needs and does a yeoman job in the paint but limiting his minutes in the pivot should be a plus. Meanwhile, Bibby is getting a bit long in the tooth and Teague seems more well-suited as a two- way guard coming off the bench. The depth is this draft is up front but Atlanta could very well use the 24th pick to round out its backcourt and find the heir apparent to Bibby. Nevada guard Armon Johnson, a lefty with decent size, seems like a nice fit. Johnson should be a 10-to-15 minute guy to give Bibby a blow early on with the ability to turn into a starter down the line. "Realistically, at that area in the draft, you are looking at the best available player," Drew said. Players under contract: F Josh Smith; C Al Horford; F Marvin Williams; C Zaza Pachulia; G Jamal Crawford; G Mike Bibby; G Maurice Evans; G Jeff Teague Free agents: G Joe Johnson (unrestricted); F Joe Smith (unrestricted); C Jason Collins (unrestricted); F Randolph Morris (unrestricted) Draft picks: 1st round (24th overall), 2nd round (53rd overall)
