Ekezie waived by Hawks

[coloradosun]

6'9" 270 has about the same frame as Jahidi White, definitely has more offensive skill. Averaged 5.5 Pts and 4.3 rebounds in 17 minutes a game last year for Atlanta. He could be an adequate backup.

The Hawks are very thin on the front line now, with only Jason Collier as the only true center and he is rumored to be traded to NY in a Marbury deal.

If Voskuhl could find some PT, Atlanta is becoming a pretty good option and the Suns could just trade him for cap space. The Hawks have over 20M available, 1.9 is not going to hurt them at all.

I wouldn't mind sending Voshkul there, but if we don't bring in any more big guys (or re-sign Hunter) then our center position won't look any better than the Hawks.

I watched a couple Hawks games and wasn't impressed by Ekezie, he has no range on his jump shot. He is a decent defensive player, but if you can't get over 20 min. of playing time on the Hawks then you are in trouble. He would be an upgrade over Jake though as a #3 Center and possibly a #2 PF.

I wanted to get this in, the Hawks have a good young team and should not bring in Marbury, they should definetley sign Earl Watson and sign or trade for a Center like Dalembert of Curry. Marbury (I feel) would be a bad influence and stunt their fast-paced game.
