The Atlanta Hawks don’t have much time for rookies

Found January 11, 2012 on Hawks Locker :
PLAYERS: Ivan Johnson
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks

27-year old power forward Ivan Johnson has looked pretty good when he has been on the floor for the Hawks so far this year.  He has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Hawks so far this year and he is averaging 9.3 minutes, 3.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.  Johnson is going to have a hard time getting consistent playing time with the Hawks as they have a lot of veteran depth on the frontline.
