The Hawks hope that talented first round draft picks Al Horford
from Florida and Acie Law from Texas A&M will be able to step in
right away and help this team improve. With the wealth of young
talent the Hawks have picked up the last few years, a turnaround
is not too far in the distance as long as Atlanta can hold on to
these youngsters. No such turnaround will happen this season.
But Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Josh Childress,
and Zaza Pachulia all averaged in double digits last season and
represent the future of this team. Horford, Shelden Williams,
Law, and Salim Stoudemire also have the potential to help this
team become a powerhouse several years down the road. Just how
young are the Hawks? The average age on the roster is 25. The
biggest thing for the young Hawks players to do right now is to
work hard and realize that they have a nice young nucleus in
place.
If Atlanta can beat out Charlotte for the next-to-last spot this
season and improve on last season’s win total, we can assume
that they are moving in the right direction.
Because of Atlanta’s youth, we can figure that they’ll try to
get out and run a little more to gain an advantage on some of
the more veteran teams. The Hawks are going to have to average
more than the 93.7 points per game they scored last year to win
many games and that might be a way to do so.
The Hawks desperately needed a point guard and they were
delighted when Acie Law was still around. Joe Johnson was the
team leader in assists at 4.4 assists per game last year. If Law
can come in and perform it will take some heat off of Johnson to
be a playmaker, which should keep him fresher.
The Hawks have a rare amount of young talent and all they need
now is to mature it and keep it together. The fact that the
players on this team organized their own offseason workouts to
get a head start on camp sends me a positive vibe about this
team. I think the Hawks can improve by 5-8 games this season.
