I love Horford to, but I wouldn't take him over Durant. I do believe he's more deserving of the ROY tho.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Acie Law, Al Horford and Marvin Williams: Three the hard way Wouldn't it be nice if every team had a Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to hang its hat on? Actually, no, it wouldn't. Because then basketball fans would miss out on stories like the one developing in Atlanta, where 21-year-olds Horford and Williams and 22-year-old Law are laying the foundation for a team that could grow into a towering presence in the Eastern Conference for many seasons. The playoffs are a possibility this season and a virtual certainty in 2009, by which time Atlanta -- an NBA dead zone in recent years -- may well have learned to love this game again. The hard-working Hawks are passionate, energetic and extremely athletic. It won't be all that long before they're kicking the Celtics to the curb.</div> Horford, JJ and Josh Smith are the important three.
