Go Hawks?

Dare I say it, things are looking up for the pro basketball team in the ATL.

Locally, it's obviously very nice that the Sonics have Kevin Durant. But Seattle was a good team as recently as three years ago. The Hawks, for the first time in ages, might be able to put a decent lineup, with Joe Johnson, Josh Childress, Shelden Williams, Al Horford and Acie Law on the floor. It's a little small, with Horford playing center at a short 6-10, but it's more talent than the Hawks have seen in ages.

It was pretty obvious these were the right picks for the Hawks, since they fill the team's two biggest needs at the one and five. The only other alternative would have been to take Mike Conley and then whichever big man was left at number 11, which would have been BC's Sean Williams. On paper, Horford & Law seems like a much better combination.
