Josh Childress

2007 Stats: 13.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 2.3 apg, 50% FG, 80% FT

2007 Highlights: A slow starter his first two seasons in the league, Chills started out hot for the Hawks, making up for the absence of Marvin Williams by putting up 15+ points in four of the team's first seven games. Unfortunately, the injury bug hit him soon thereafter, as a stress fracture in his foot cost him 27 games the rest of the season. In 55 games, he still managed to have some pretty terrific performances. He put up a stat-stuffing 22 points, 12 boards, 6 assists and 5 blocks in a 102-100 loss to Portland on March 23, 23 points and a season-high 14 rebounds in a 100-96 win over Boston on January 15, and poured in a season-high 25 in a 99-76 pasting of Sacto on March 19.

Here is an interesting nugget I found while looking over his season, by the way. If you consider Chills a guard (and I do) more than a forward, then his 2.2 offensive rebounds per game was the best in the NBA amongst all guards. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

What he needs to work on this summer: Getting healthy (a recurring theme in these recaps, eh?). The Hawks need Chills on the court as much as possible, as he is the type of player who does all of the little things needed to get wins on a consistent basis. Josh's 3-pt FG percentage dipped last season from nearly 50% to 34%, but that's more in line with what most players typically shoot from long range. It's hard to think of one particular thing he needs to work on, as he has always struck me as a guy who is good at a lot of things but not necessarily great at any one thing. Basically, he needs to work on getting a little better at everything (not too much to ask, is it?).

Outlook for 2007-08: Chills has kept a somewhat low profile on the Hawks offensively in the past, letting the game come to him and rarely forcing anything. It has served him well, as he has had very high shooting percentages in each of his first three years. However, going into his fourth season, I think he needs to assert himself more. Not in a way that will make him force things, but in a way that makes opposing defenses take more notice of where he is and, ideally, force them to think harder about double-teaming JJ.

Chill, like Josh, is playing for a contract extension, so it's important he play well if he wants to really get paid.
