ATL has its identity and has been getting better each of the last few years. JR looks better on Clev. Muscala has developed nice.
Yeah, its a shame we missed him. How many others we missed and are no where as well?

I think it's a combination of both. He was acutely undervalued--he was a lottery pick who went in rd 2. But going to a team that developed him nicely helped both. Danny Ferry--hes the architect behind the Hawks

Ferry is a product of the patient Spurs factory. Lets hope we can also produce players born from patience. We are very early in the process.
Not giving knicks a pass, just no reason to jump on them yet.

Should a suspended GM be Exec of the year? ATL has made a quantum leap this year and is running away with the west. GS has as well I would think their guy will get it. Ferry is suspended!!!

Now if you need your ego rubbed to validate your scouting skills on a forum with mostly negative upset pessimistic fans.....GOOD LUCK.

For every diamond a player finds....there are also the same amount and more fake diamonds they find. You have to look at both sides. Phil is the type to find diamonds. Thats his only strategy with such a short timeline.

You need to go on the knick website and apply for a scouting position. You have over 10 years of proven history from the UK site.

Muscala was not a diamond in the rough. We had no big men and we had a late pick. I thought it was pretty easy pickings.
