Josh Childress
Joshua Malik Childress (b. 20 June 1983 in Harbor City, California) is an NBA basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks.
Childress was a first round pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, and number six overall. He was drafted as a junior from Stanford University after a near-perfect 26-1 season. The Hawks drafted Childress (and his trademark afro) in large part due to his creative play and versatility as a Guard/Forward.
During the 2004-05 NBA season Childress emerged as one of two promising rookie talents for the Hawks, along with Josh Smith, the two showed improved play, minutes, and production. Childress ranked third among rookies in double-doubles in the 2004-05 season, behind only Emeka Okafor and Dwight Howard.
Childress is featured on the box cover of ESPN College Hoops 2K5 for the Playstation 2, published by Sega.
Childress attended Mayfair High School in Lakewood, California.
