It is interesting that Sweetney is still with the team. I wonder if the team is actually considering him.
The regular season doesn't start for a week. Let's see if he's still on the roster on...Sunday?
In Sweetney's defense though, what happened to Shelden Williams? He didn't play either.
Williams is probably the 10th or 11th man on the roster. Might even be the sixth big man, since whenever I've seen Scal he's looked rotation-worthy. Landlord'll probably only play any decent minutes in the case of injury, foul trouble, or in blowouts. So far, he's looked kinda "meh" to me, a bit more athletic than I might have supposed but maybe - maybe clumsy is the right word on offense?
But, plenty good for a fifth/sixth big man, and certainly fine for a vet-minimum contract. I tend to think that if everyone forgot that he was a #5 overall pick, they'd judge him more on what he IS (an OK big man) instead of what the Hawks thought he might become.
