Player Notes
May 13, 2008
Hawks' center Al Horford has been named to the NBA All-Rookie Team, according to the AP. Horford averaged 10.1 points, 9.7 boards, 1.5 assists, and 0.9 blocks over 81 games.

Our View:Horford also led all rookies with 25 double-doubles, and guided the Hawks to their first postseason appearance since 1999.
May 4, 2008
Al Horford scored eight points and hauled in a game-high 12 boards in a losing effort in Game 7, as Atlanta was blown out by Boston 99-65. Horford also recorded three assists and two blocks.

Our View:Horford reached double digits in rebounds in five of the seven games of the series against Boston, and scored a high of 20 points in Game 1. Horford did his job for the underdog Hawks, and he should continue to make strides next season.

With the league announcing Seattle's Kevin Durant as this season's Rookie of the Year, Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford is finding supportive voices from his coach and teammates who were more than happy to express their discontent over the decision, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Our View:"It's a travesty and it's not right," said coach Mike Woodson. "He (Horford) should have shared it, if not gotten it outright. And I don't want to hear about us not being on TV or anything like that. It doesn't matter. It's what this kid has done for this team. We haven't had a power forward/center come in our league and do what he's done (average a double-double) in I don't know how many year. I mean, come on, man." Horford tied for the 11th-overall ranking in the league in rebounds (9.7) and averaged 10.1 points per game. On the other hand, Durant averaged 20.3 points per game, though his teams failed to qualify for the playoffs. "You can't walk away from 20 a night," said Atlanta guard Marvin Williams. "But the difference to me is that you have one team in the playoffs and the other team watching the playoffs."
