This year for the Hawks is going in the same way it has been for several years now. I seems as though the Hawks are going in every directions but, straight. It has been difficult to watch this team play year after year. And now they have a chance to get a top lottery pick if they finish in the bottom 3. Well, while everyone is getting excited by Oden @OSU no one knows for sure if he is coming out. My money is betting on him to stay in school one more year for 2 simple reason. 1st) He did leave to goto the NBA for 1st time because of Conley,Jr. Conley is not on an NBA radar this year. So Oden will not leave him 2nd) He is a true student-athlete which values his education. Anyone with common sense knows that if he leaves after his 1st year of school that his NBA career will be to busy to go to school. When he comes out after his 2nd year than he would be much closer to getting the things he wants. Like Conley getting looks from the NBA for a 2nd round pick.
