  1. The future of the Hawks?! Ok tell me, who you moving out of the starting lineup then between Daniels, Risacher, Johnson (because obviously Newell cannot play the 5 so it has to be at one of their positions).

  2. As a longtime Hawks fan, I'm excited to welcome Asa to the team. However please note that he is 6-9, not 6-11. Colleges typically exaggerate a player's height but once they go to the NBA Combine they actually get measured. "6 feet 9 inches, 224 pounds"
