|
| |  | ATLANTA: GUARDS: GM Danny Ferry has really talked up JEFF TEAGUE, who will be more of a traditional point guard with Joe Johnson gone . . . DEVIN HARRIS is going to play plenty of minutes, both alongside Teague and off the bench . . . LOU WILLIAMS is a sixth man. He lacks the mentality to run the point and the size to guard opposing twos. His role will be similar to what it was in Philly . . . KYLE KORVER and ANTHONY MORROW are pure shooters who do little else. They can play the three in a pinch, and the hot hand will get the minutes . . . Coach Larry Drew could call on DeSHAWN STEVENSON for the occasional defense-heavy lineup. More likely, he'll rack up the DNP-CDs . . . JOHN JENKINS might be the best shooter in the rookie class, but he'll be buried on the depth chart. FORWARDS: JOSH SMITH rescinded his trade demand, perhaps because he'll now be the focal point of the offense. He was more aggressive on both ends of the floor last year. As long as he resists the urge to float on the perimeter, he should emerge as an All-Star . . . Considering the makeup of this roster, Atlanta will utilize a lot of three-guard lineups. Korver and Morrow can stretch a defense from that third guard/small forward spot, with Stevenson stepping in as an agitator . . . After scoring double-figures six times in April, IVAN JOHNSON was re-signed to once again provide some muscle inside . . . Rookie MIKE SCOTT is polished after five years at Virginia, but doesn't have the athleticism to be an impact player . . . ANTHONY TOLLIVER is a defensive specialist with very little offense to contribute. CENTERS: AL HORFORD will get his wish to play more power forward this season, though he'll remain their primary option at center. He's healthy again and is one of the most consistent bigs in the NBA . . . ZAZA PACHULIA filled in admirably for Horford last year. But it's back to bench duty for the bruising big . . . JOHAN PETRO is French for "12th man." | | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: RAMON SESSIONS will have to adjust to a major downgrade in teammates, but he has the kind of versatile offensive skill set to be the focal point of this offense . . . The athletic GERALD HENDERSON has made strides the past two seasons. Realistically, his offensive skills are those of a No. 4 or 5 option . . . Coach Mike Dunlap is high on KEMBA WALKER, who was sometimes overwhelmed as a rookie. With a few new sets built in for him, he could thrive as a sixth man getting starter's minutes . . . BEN GORDON won't overtake Henderson, but should see big minutes as the Cats' only shooter . . . REGGIE WILLIAMS is a D-League talent . . . MATT CARROLL, in the final year of his $27 million deal, symbolizes everything that's gone wrong under Michael Jordan. FORWARDS: Drafting MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST was as much about changing the losing culture as it was adding a piece they needed. MKG's statistical output is a question mark, but he'll see big minutes as a defensive stopper and intangibles guy . . . This team is seriously lacking in the post, where they may have no choice but to play TYRUS THOMAS for significant minutes. The talented but uber-underachieving big man claims to have added 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason. If nothing else, they might showcase him in a desperate attempt to get some trade value . . . Rookie JEFFERY TAYLOR figures to make the team and has the versatility and athleticism to be a respectable second-unit guy. CENTERS: Charlotte sees BISMACK BIYOMBO as a franchise cornerstone. He can certainly rebound and block shots, but his offense is atrocious . . . BRENDAN HAYWOOD brings a veteran presence. At his age he can't go more than 15 or so minutes per night . . . BYRON MULLENS never saw a shot he didn't like. He'll get one more chance to prove he's an NBA rotation player, able to play the four or five . . . DeSAGANA DIOP is doing those things that DeSagana Diop does. |

*Hawks-Bobcats Preview* =======================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Atlanta (23-18) at Charlotte (10-31), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The injury-plagued Atlanta Hawks remain in position for a playoff berth halfway through the season but would love to snap out of their funk on the road.
A visit to Charlotte would appear an ideal way to end those woes, but the Hawks don't plan on overlooking the Bobcats even though they've lost 15 straight at home.
While trying to snap a six-game road losing streak, Atlanta will seek an eighth consecutive win in the series and fourth in a row in Charlotte on Wednesday night.
Atlanta (23-18) is sixth in the Eastern Conference but 3-8 in its last 11 games, and a short-handed backcourt has hardly helped. Lou Williams (knee) is out for the season, and Devin Harris (ankle), DeShawn Stevenson (knee) and Anthony Morrow (back) also sat out Monday's 104-96 home win against Minnesota.
Al Horford helped make up for those absences with a season-high 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Jannero Pargo, signed to a 10-day contract earlier in the day, scored 16 points. Pargo averaged 5.6 points in 50 games for the Hawks (23-18) in 2011-12 and 3.0 in seven with Washington earlier this season.
"It's a relief to be able to have a guy like that," Horford said. "He was a great teammate last (season), and I'm happy to have him back."
With Pargo's help, Atlanta will try to avoid its longest road losing streak since Jan. 27-Feb. 20, 2008, by adding to its recent dominance over Charlotte (10-31). The Hawks have won this season's three meetings by an average of 12.0 points and shot 57.3 percent in a 113-90 home victory Dec. 13.
They also shot 53.8 percent in a 101-91 win in Charlotte on Nov. 23. Horford had 26 points and 13 rebounds in that game, and he's averaging a team-best 18.0 points on 61.0 percent shooting in the three matchups.
This time, Horford will face a team that's already set a franchise record for consecutive home losses and is four shy of matching the league's longest such skid, set by Dallas in 1993-94.
"Our guys have to know that they've lost 15 straight at home and they're starving for a win," Hawks assistant coach Lester Conner said. "They almost had one (Monday) night against Houston. I'm sure they feel they should have beaten us twice.
"We've got to go up there and keep playing our team ball. Hopefully, we can get out of Charlotte with a victory and don't worry about them until next year."
The Bobcats have lost their past two home games by a combined 10 points and had a seven-point lead entering the fourth quarter in a 100-94 defeat to the Rockets. Kemba Walker had a career-high 35 points and went 6 of 7 from 3-point range.
"It's tough," Walker said. "We're trying our hardest to win these games, but it's just not working out right now. Hopefully, things will work out for us.
"It gets tough in the fourth quarter. Teams adjust to what we've been doing. You have to execute. I thought we got some pretty good shots and just missed them."
Walker, averaging 17.9 points in his second season, has shot 35.6 percent in the three games against Atlanta but has still produced 14.7 points per matchup.
Ramon Sessions, who scored 19 on Monday, is averaging a team-best 18.7 points versus the Hawks this season.
