27-year old power forward Ivan Johnson has looked pretty good when he has been on the floor for the Hawks so far this year.  He has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Hawks so far this year and he is averaging 9.3 minutes, 3.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.  Johnson is going to have a hard time getting consistent playing time with the Hawks as they have a lot of veteran depth on the frontline.

23-year old SG/SF Pape Sy just didn’t get much of a chance to prove himself in 2010-11 with the Hawks.  Sy played in 3 games (0 starts) for the Hawks this year and he averaged 7.0 minutes, 2.3 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.7 assists per game.  The Hawks are a very deep team with championship aspirations, so don’t look for Sy to get much P.T. in the near future.  I’m thinking that he will likely spend more time in the D-League than with the Hawks next season.

Rookie shooting guard Jordan Crawford is still best known for being the Xavier player who dunked in LeBron James’ face at a camp.  He has played in 12 games (0 starts) so far this year for the Hawks and he is averaging 9.7 minutes, 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  Crawford is buried on the depth chart right now and that won’t change unless the Hawks encounter injuries to their guards.  Rookie forward Pape Sy has yet to play in a game for the Hawks this year as he is currently in the D-League.  Don’t look for the Hawks to call him up any time soon.

The Atlanta Hawks are in a “win now’ mode and they have a lot of veterans ahead of Jordan Crawford on the depth chart.  Crawford has played in 10 games (0 starts) so far this year for the Hawks and he is averaging 10.9 minutes, 4.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  He is only shooting 38% from the floor and 36.8% from three point range so far this year but I think those numbers would improve with an increase in P.T.  He will be just watching and learning from the bench unless the Hawks suffer a few injuries to the guards.

22-year old shooting guard Jordan Crawford is stuck on the depth chart behind Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford. So unless one of those guys or one of the point guards (Mike Bibby and Jeff Teague) get injured I don’t see Jordan Crawford getting P.T. any time soon. Crawford has played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Hawks so far this year and he is averaging 9.6 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.

21-year old SG/PG Jeff Teague waited until the end of the year to show what he can do. Teague got the start last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers with the Hawks resting some players. All he did last night was play all 48 minutes for the Hawks in which he finished up with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assists. Teague finished up his rookie season playing in 71 games (3 starts) in which he averaged 10.1 minutes, 3.2 points, 0.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Hopefully Teague can give the Hawks some solid minutes in the playoffs if he is called upon.

The Hawks just don’t trust rookie guard Jeff Teague enough to give him more minutes. Teague has played in 48 games (0 starts) for the Hawks this season and he is averaging 9.6 minutes, 2.9 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. He is only shooting 34.4% from the floor and it’s hard to justify giving him minutes over Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford or Mike Bibby.

PG/SG Jeff Teague is having a rough time for the Hawks this season. He has played in 30 games (0 starts) for the Hawks this season and he is averaging 10.6 minutes, 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Teague is not shooting too well this season hitting only 35.5% from the floor and 22.2% from three point range. This is not a excuse but Teague is not getting much playing this season due to the fact that he is behind Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford in the rotation at guard and it’s hard to get into a rhythm shooting the ball when your playing time is sporadic. Still, the Hawks need him to play better when called upon.

21-year old SG/PG Jeff Teague is finding playing time hard to come by so far this season for the Atlanta Hawks and that won’t likely change any time soon with Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford gobbling up all the guard minutes. Teague has played in 8 games (0 starts) so far this season for the Hawks and he is averaging 10.9 minutes, 3.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. With him not getting regular minutes this season Teague’s shooting stroke is a tad off as he is only hitting 33.3% from the floor so far this season. Unless Bibby, Johnson or Crawford suffers an injury it’s just hard to see Teague getting much playing time as a rookie for the Hawks this season.

Rookie forward Othello Hunter hasn’t had much of a chance to show what he can do. That won’t likely change unless the Hawks have injury problems this season. Hunter has played in 5 games for the Hawks so far this season and he is averaging 0.8 points and 0.4 rebounds per game.
