The Light Bulb Has Come On

It seems that after nearly 10 years the Atlanta Hawks have finally decided to use their brains. Today the team announced their 15-man roster and former Georgia Tech star Mario West has made the team! My colleague, Mr. MizzleMizzleMizzle, called for West to make the team earlier this month. I called for the team to create an uptempo style, forcing defensive pressure. These are exactly Mario's strengths. Are you lurking on our blog Coach Woodson? Show yourself man!

We here at the Complex are delighted that Mike Woodson and his coaching staff have begun to understand how to win basketball games with the right players. Mario will provide excellent athletic depth and we hope to see him matched up with the opponents' best players. Although he'll probably start the season on the inactive roster (there is a 12-man active roster, 3-man inactive), it's quite possible we'll see West use some of his defensive skills to lock up a big name guy later in the year. Again, congrats to Mario for making the team and congrats to Mike Woodson for trying to win basketball games.

Billy Knight, if you're looking for an Assistant GM, all you have to do is ask. I'll do it for half of what those other guys are making.
