    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Marvin Williams is on his way back, and earlier than expected, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting.

    Williams has been cleared to suit up for Friday's game against the Lakers in Los Angeles, four days before he was slated to return from a fractured finger on his left hand that cost him the first month of the season.

    "I'm trying to get ready by Friday," a grinning Williams said after a rigorous pregame workout with Hawks assistant coach David Fizdale. "I'm going to be winded for sure, because there's nothing like basketball shape. It'll take me a week or so to get all the way back to where I want to be. But I'll be there Friday night, which is most important, and I'll be back to normal in no time."</div>
    This is awesome that he's getting back on track sooner than expected. Marvin has a lot of potential, and getting him back into the swing of things sooner is a major plus. Before the season, it was reported that he would start at the 4 over Shelden Williams, it will be interesting to see if that still stands once he gets back into solid form. He certainly does different things than Shelden on the floor. I personally think having Shelden in the starting lineup would be better, with Marvin off the bench, due to rebounding, strength, size, and low post defense.

    Good luck Marvin!

    Yep, I hope him the best as well. If he does well, hopefully one of my fantasy teams will.

But Smith is the better defender and rebounder so I like him more at the 4.
