Mike Woodson: Al Horford Should Have Been RoY

05.2.2008 - Updated on 05.2.2008

"It’s a travesty and it’s not right," Woodson said Wednesday night before Atlanta’s Game 5 loss to Boston, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He should have shared it, if not gotten it outright. And I don’t want to hear about us not being on TV or anything like that. It doesn’t matter. It’s what this kid has done for this team.

Horford averaged 10.1 points and 9.7 rebounds, helping the Hawks back to the NBA playoffs for the first time in nine years.

"We haven’t had a power forward/center come in our league and do what he’s done [average a double-double] in I don’t know how many years," Woodson said. "I mean, come on, man." [ESPN]

Durant did nothing to improve the Sonics,Horford did.Horford is the starting center while being smaller than the best centers around and what did they do with Durant.They started him at shooting guard opposed by much smaller guys than him so it’s really easy for him to shoot over them.For me I compare Horford with former Hawks great Kevin Willis and Durant with T-mac,because that is also a player who gets guarded by smaller guys(most of the time) and will never achieve succes in the NBA. .
