Salim

Stoudamire

Since the Hawks will likely be victims of the blowout several times this year, he will be useful occasionally. If you can predict when exactly that will be, go play the lottery and bet on some ponies after you put Stoudamire in your lineup.

It’s officially time to pick him up, as he hit 6-of-11 shots, including three three pointers off the bench.

Many of them came against Raymond Felton, who is known as a pretty solid defender. Stoudamire figures to be another young gun on a team full of them.

Lue is still recovering from knee surgery and Stoudamire has a hamstring injury.

The injury has bothered him for most of the preseason but he’s hoping to be ready for opening night.

Stoudamire went 6-for-6 from the field in spot duty and probably earned more playing time with this performance. He’s been dealing with a lot of injuries, but is capable of a big night like this from time to time when he’s healthy.

He added four assists, but Salim Stoudamire and Joe Johnson were much more effective at running the point tonight. “The Closer” is still not fully recovered from knee surgery and it looks like Stoudamire might be a better fantasy option as long as Acie Law is out with an ankle injury.

He finished with 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting, but should get some solid run while Acie Law is out. If you need threes, give him a look.

Stoudamire had been out since mid-December, but he’s not going to offer much value unless you need threes in a very deep league.

They call him the ‘Sniper,’ but he won’t do much besides hit threes. He’d been out with a hamstring injury.
