Taking the last shot
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’ve established, all in our own way, who we think the Hawks’ starters should be. That led me to another thing I’m thinking as Tuesday’s preseason opener approaches.
If the Hawks have the ball and are down a point with three seconds to play, who takes the game winner? And why?
I can imagine most people will say the obvious, Joe Johnson, because he’s the team’s highest paid player.
But I’m hoping there are some more creative solutions out there. Because if you think about it, the highest paid player isn’t always best-suited to take the big shots.
