Gems of '06 draft not apparent now

By the time they return to town for Wednesday's game against
Indiana, Anthony Grundy should be back in a Hawks uniform.
One of the last players cut during training camp, Grundy has
starred for the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBDL this season.
The Hawks are down two guards with Tyronn Lue (knee) and Salim
Stoudamire (elbow) both out with injuries. That's good news for
Grundy, who has a good chance of finishing the season the same
place he started it, with the Hawks. "He's been here and he's
familiar with everything we do," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said
of Grundy, who is averaging 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1
assists.
"We're not going to rush anybody back. And Salim's done for
the season. So we have to do what we can to fill the void."
The Hawks currently have just two healthy guards — Joe Johnson
and Royal Ivey — available.
‧ MOVING DEADLINE: Lue had hoped to be back for today's game
in Orlando. But after working full speed in practice earlier
this week, he said he felt some discomfort around his right knee.
Instead of rushing back, the Hawks play again Tuesday in Charlotte
and against Indiana at home Wednesday, Lue said he's shooting for
Friday night's game against New Jersey. "I'm ready to be back out
there," Lue said. "But my body isn't cooperating right now. Friday
is the day I'm shooting for, though."
‧ LSU'S BIGGEST FAN: Hawks radio analyst and former Georgia Tech
star Dennis Scott has plenty of competition these days, but he's
claiming to be LSU's biggest fan. And he made that statement long
before the Tigers punched their ticket to the Final Four with
Saturday's regional final win over Texas at the Georgia Dome.
"They had me the other night, when they locked J.J. Redick up
and preserved one my records he hasn't broken," a smiling Scott
said of the ACC single-season scoring mark of 970 points that he
still owns. Redick finished with 964. "I'm glad LSU played all
that good defense on him the other night," said Scott, who scored
30 or more points an astonishing 19 times during the 1989-90
season. "Listen, all you can do when they're defending you like
that is keep shooting. What did Redick finish? Wasn't he something
like 3-for-17 [3-for-18, actually]. I would have been 3-for-28,
because I wouldn't have stopped shooting."
