Ladies and gentlemen, I present: Ronald "Flip" Murray, newest Hawk and a guy who has the potential to fill a role the Hawks have been missing for the last several years - bench gunner. Dude can score. For those that aren't familiar with his exploits, I'll give you a brief recap of his career: Murray burst onto the scene in Seattle in 2003-04, stepping in for an injured Ray Allen to provide scoring for the Sonics, eventually appearing in all 82 games that season. He has bounced around a bit since then, playing for Detroit, Cleveland, and Indiana, but he's been a capable scorer at all stops and has shown the ability to start when needed. The thing I like about Murray's game is his ability to create his own shot, a skill not many Hawks possess save for Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby (though I think Acie Law is developing). He's a vet, he's been in the playoffs, and he gives the team another shooter to take some of the pressure off our starters. What do you think?
