From Soccer Goalie to Small Forward
If they were ever so inclined, the Hawks players could reassemble themselves into the world's tallest club soccer team.
Former schoolboy goalie and 6-foot-8 Chelsea fan John Collins could patrol the net. Up front, Arsenal fan Clint Capela could use his 6-foot-10 frame to try headers just as he did as a kid. 6-foot-10 Gorgui Dieng could do a little bit of whatever was needed, just as he did before following his sister to the hardwood at age 17.
At 6-foot-7, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot might be one of the shorter members of the side. Like most kids growing up in France, Luwawu-Cabarrot played soccer before branching out into other sports. He soon found his calling elsewhere.
