Terran Petteway is playing like every game could be his last.

 

That final game might not come anytime soon.

 

Petteway, an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska, has impressed the Hawks at the Las Vegas Summer League.

In five games, including four starts, for the Hawks’ entry in Las Vegas, Petteway has averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists. The guard/forward had his biggest game of the tournament Thursday night in a win over the Nuggets. He finished with 14 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks.

Lamar Patterson is the only one that stands in his way.  He has been the most consistent of the 3 so far, but I feel Pettaway is more or a spark plug type player.  

 

So with that said I think he may be on a roster somewhere, but not the Hawks.  I think the Hawks take Lamar Patterson and Pettaway signs elsewhere.  Same goes for Glenn Robinson III

Please let this be our answer to the FINALS!!!

... Petteway was one of five Hawks in double figures, finishing with 14 points, and team highs in both rebounds (nine) and assists (seven). Petteway shined from long range, hitting 4-of-10 from 3-point range for the Hawks (3-2).

In addition to his offensive effort, he also chipped in two blocked shots and a pair of steals in handing Denver (3-1) its first loss in Summer League.

The Hawks will play Dallas in the quarterfinals on Saturday at 5 p.m. on NBA TV...

He might still get a camp invite from the Hawks. But I agree he's likely to have more oppprtunity elsewhere. Too bad they have only one roster spot open.

Also known as Spurs West vs Spurs East.

... Petteway put together his best offensive performance in summer league, scoring 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range. The 6-foot-6 guard/forward hit his first eight shots from the field, as the Hawks outscored Dallas, 21-13 in the second quarter to overcome an early deficit.

 

Petteway, who is averaging 11.5 points per game in Summer League, also added six rebounds, two assists and a pair of blocked shots in the win...

Semi-Finals: Hawks/Spurs

Sunday (July 19) at 5:00 pm CDT

 

55-51 Spurs after 3Q.

The Hawks just can't seem to ever get past the semi-finals. Repeat of this past May.

 

75-68 Final. Spurs.

Yesterday was the first time I got a chance to check in on our guy and I must, indeed, be a jinx. I watched only the third quarter and , to be quite honest, Terran stunk. He was instrumental in blowing a huge Atlanta lead by showing some of the tendencies which sometimes plagued him at NU by trying to do too much when he obviously did not have his "A" game going. He couldn't guard his man, missed open 3 pointers, took ill advised early shots, fumbled a pick and roll and then appeared to blame his teammate who made the pass, and generally acted frustrated. I think this all stems from the effort he puts forth and hope that the Hawks evaluate his whole summer performance and not this one snapshot. At least the coaches didn't bench him and must be trying to let him show his true skills.

I didn't want to say it; but you are a much more keen observer than I, Jimmy.  I hope to see many more games when TP is 'On' his game.

Just the fact that a win or loss can be dependent on one person hopefully says a lot. I'm sure the Hawks are evaluating the likelihood they are able to minimize his errors. If they feel that is quickly fixable, the only reason they wouldn't take him is because they want someone like Ashley or Robinson.

He won't have a hope of an NBA roster if he can't cut out the turnovers.

Yep, true dat. TP will need a lot of seasoning to get a real shot at PT down the line.

In his best Summer League game Saturday when he made his first 8 shots, he started getting double teamed and had trouble with traps - a scenario like we saw so many times in his Husker games.

At least Terran wasn't the only one on his team who stunk. Nobody could make shots in the second half. And when the Spurs turned up the heat on defense, no one was immune to the turnover bug. Terran had the hardest defensive assignment to boot (Summer League MVP Kyle Anderson), who had a noticeable size/skill advantage over him.
