The Hawks appear to be sending both backup point guards to Golden State for Jamal Crawford. This brings makes signing Mike Bibby more imperative. To do so, they may not match offers that Marvin Williams receives. Acie Law and Speedy Claxton both are being shipped. Neither really played much last year. Joe Johnson lead the team in assist even though he isn't a point guard. I doubt they will use him as one. Andre Miller and Jason Kidd are both available on the market. My bet is on Bibby returning. Crawford could play the point, but he would be better off as the 2 guard. He did average 4.4 assist along wth 19.7 points.

As a math major, I'm always fascinated by numbers. I took this years NBA stats and have started tinkering around with them. One major stat stands out so far---offensive rebounds. If you compare offensive rebounds to the wins a team has, you will find that it produces a slightly negative correlation. Meaning, the MORE offensive rebounds a team has, the FEWER wins it will produce. The reason is this: teams with lower field goal percrentages lose more games and have more opportunities for offensive rebounds. When determining the value of a player through statisics, offensive rebounds can be very misleading.
