Tonight, Felton has experienced his spring!
Harrington and Josh Smith were fast and agile as power forwards, but at the point guard position, they were as slow as turtles on defense.
Mike Woodson still insisted they had to learn to defend against the opposing point guard; otherwise, the position adjustment was meaningless. Joe Johnson would still have to defend the point guard, but that was a skill not even someone as talented as Josh Smith could master...
Felton repeatedly stepped back for long-range shots, continuously driving close in for scores, and he blew up the Hawks' defense!
Making 16 out of 25 shots, including 4 out of 6 three-pointers, and 5 out of 7 free throws, Felton scored a whopping 41 points with 2 rebounds and 4 assists! Securing the first 40+ point game for a rookie from the 2005 class!
