Al Horford

At this point, expecting Horford to rebound is a joke. Though, the rest of his contributions are extremely impressive, one can overlook his deficiencies on the glass.

2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 19 minutes in a 107-101 win vs Lakers

Johnson’s shot was off last night, but his 1-6 shooting performance did not hinder the Jazz’s win.

Best Performance of the Night by a former Hawk

Lou Williams

Currently, there are about five players in the NBA that are playing better than Lou Williams. With no context involved, Williams is a consistent 20 point, 5 assist, 4 rebound game waiting to happen. When the Lakers play the Warriors in the 1st round of the 2017 playoffs, and Lou Will drop 50, don’t forget who warned you.NEXT: Ex-Hawk Watch: December 4th, 2016Make sure to come back daily for your former Hawks’ stats!
