    Geez- is Glen Robinson really going to do that much for the Hawks? Are there some other moves they made I don't know about?

    Surpised the Clips didn't even make the list. They added the one missing piece they needed to a great starting lineup and have two awesome rookie big men.

    ATL = 47.8 % = 11/23
    Hou = 17.4 = 4/23
    Was= 13.0=3/23
    GS = 8.7 = 2/23
    Chi= 4.3 = 1/23
    Mem = 4.3 = 1/23
    NY= 4.3 = 1/23

    So it looks like Layden, West, and Krause definitely voted for themselves!

    Well, Atlanta basically added Ratliff, Glenn Robinson, and Dan Dickau. That's a huge plus IMO. If Ratliff is healthy, and his defense isn't affected, then this is top 4 in the East:

    Ratliff/Nazr Mohammed
    SAR/Nazr Mohammed
    Big Dog/Newble
    Glover/Terry/Newble
    Terry/Dickau

    I don't think voters consider our returning players when determing how much we improved.
