The Atlanta Hawks need Marvin Williams to step up a little bit in 2011-12

25-year old small forward Marvin Williams needs to step up this year for the Hawks.  He played in 65 games (52 starts) for the Hawks last year and he averaged 28.7 minutes, 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.  Williams has now played in 430 games (342 starts) in his first six years with the Hawks and he is averaging 31.0 minutes, 11.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.  Williams will need to step up because the Hawks only have 23-year old Pape Sy behind him as of right now at small forward.  Sy played in 3 games (0 starts) for the Hawks as a rookie last year and he averaged 7.0 minutes, 2.3 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.7 assists per game.
