Hawks adding player ?

Isaac its the "if fit and firing" thing I worry about with Davidson. He can be really good at times, but he always seems to be struggling with injuries. I also think an inside-outside combo works better at the 4 and 5 spots and Nevill will provide more of a threat around the basket than Davidson does.

I think one reason is that coaches don't have quite the same patience/tolerancewith 7 footers.

Its easier, less work and less worrying to go with a mobile 6"9/6"10ish C as it makes defending high OB screens more comfortable.

Footers can be tough to coach and with the speed of the league many coaches dont want the hassle IMO.

Nevill would be a very good pickup for the Hawks, who look unbalanced to me atm. If I could cut Carson and sign Nevill instead, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

I don't see how you'd start Davidson over Nevill either. Its not like they need a stretch 5 when they have Forman at the 4!

This would be great. I think the Hawks two weaknesses are size and shooting ability. Nevill would help both these areas. Would he start off the bench if Davidson is available in time?.

would Hawks lineup be;

1. Carrson
2. Ervin
3. Coenraad
4. Forman?
5. Davidson/Gruber/Nevill

Its not so much Ervin. More so the pairing of Ervin AND Carson.

Ervin was most likely paired with Crawford or a Cedar brother as guards in TVL.

Carson is much more electric, athletic and uptempo than who Ervin played alongside with in TVL.

Would really love to see Nevill get a decent shot at it and Wollongong might provide him that opportunity.

My only concern would be that Ervin, Carson etc. will play too fast for him.
