Knowing that Mike Bibby could potentially jump-ship during free agency this off-season, the Hawks decided to be on the safe side and bring in a pair of point guards. Bibby is currently an unrestricted free agent and seeing that Atlanta has two point guards already, does he even want to return? Bibby possessed playoff experience from his days with the Sacramento Kings, but knowing that he was expecting one more big pay day and seeing as the Hawks have shown in the past that they don’t really like to spend it’s hard to expect him to return to Atlanta at this point. Crawford is an explosive, yet streaky scoring point guard and that’s not really something the Hawks need. They need a point guard who looks to pass first who can get others such as Horford, Johnson, and Smith involved in the offsense and Crawford isn’t that guy. He’s even more of a chucker than what Bibby was.

Jeff Teague on the other hand is a rookie that it’s hard to see being a point guard that starts as a rookie and helps lead a playoff hungry team. He was an excellent player at Wake Forest who left early to enter the NBA Draft. There is no question that sometime down the line that he can be a very productive player in this league or atleast just a very capable back-up who can give the starter a spell every now and then. But to be under the notion that as a rookie Teague can be a very vital piece to a team trying to replace their third leading scorer and most consistent three point shooter is quite laughable.
