From the national media</p> </p> http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...iams/index.html</p> </p> Marvin had 19 and 6 tonight.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> For years Marvin Williams heard that his team drafted the wrong guy. He heard it in 2005-06 when Chris Paul was Rookie of the Year for the New Orleans Hornets. He heard it in surround sound last season when Deron Williams led the Utah Jazz to the Western Conference finals.</p> And yet Marvin Williams has no issue with those who say the Atlanta Hawks were wrong to draft him with the No. 2 pick in the 2005 draft ahead of Paul and Deron Williams.</p> "I think a couple of years ago, [drafting] a point guard was best suited for this team,'' he admitted. "Sometimes I do hear it -- you know, 'Instead of taking another forward, they should have taken a point guard.' And maybe it would have worked out better for the team, but ...''</p> But now, as a 21-year-old in his third NBA season, the 6-foot-9 Williams is responding to the criticism. He's averaging 17.5 points (a steady increase from his averages of 8.5 and 13.1 points over the previous two seasons) and shooting 55.9 percent for the improved Hawks, who have beaten Dallas and Phoenix amid the league's roughest opening schedule.</div></p> I think we all knew he would be good, and it is ok he took time. He will be a top forward in this league very soon and is starting to come in to his own.. I could really care less about not getting Paul or Deron.</p>
