Buzzmaster: (9:26 PM ET ) Next up is Acie Law IV!
Felix (Brazil): what is your greatest nba goal?
Acie Law: (9:28 PM ET ) Without question to win the NBA title. Atlanta has been struggling. They haven't won since Dominique was there. I want to come in with a winning attitude and turn things around.
Harold Minor (MIA): What NBA PG Past or Present do u ccompare urself to?
Acie Law: (9:29 PM ET ) I compare myself to Billups and Cassell. I think those are two guys that are big for the position. Their good leaders.
Frank ( Dallas, TX ): Acie going to a team like Atlanta do you like working with players like Josh Smith and Joe Johnson with the draft pick selected by hawks Al Harford
Acie Law: (9:31 PM ET ) I think that's a good selection. Joe Johnson can score with any guy in the Eastern Conference. Al Horford was one of the most physical players in this draft. Put them together and being young, it could be scary
PJ ((IN)): do you think u will start?
Acie Law: (9:31 PM ET ) I want to come in and play immediaqtely. I won't say that I'll come in and start immediately, but I'll come in with the attitude as a starter and turn the franchise around.
John (Miami): are you excited to play with horford?
Acie Law: (9:32 PM ET ) I'm very very excited to play with him. He'll make my job easier. He's a winner. I'm looking forward to playing with him.
Acie Law: (9:33 PM ET ) I'm just so excited right now. I want to thank all my fans. I won't let them down in my NBA career.
Buzzmaster: (9:33 PM ET ) Thanks Acie! I believe I just saw Spencer Hawes roaming around.
