The Hawks have received many plaudits for their draft haul so far, especially given the way Al Horford and Acie Law performed during summer league play at the Rocky Mountain Revue.

Well, it turns out the members of the press aren't the only ones singing the praises of our incoming Hawks rookies. In a survery conducted during the NBA photo shoot for the 2007 draft class, both Horford and Law received high marks from their brethren.

In particular, Horford was voted the most ready to contribute, getting 29.5% of the votes (Law was fourth, with 9.1%), while Law finished second in the best playmaker category, getting 26.2% (Memphis' Mike Conley was rated #1 with 45.2%). It's a pretty cool little survey, I suggest checking it out.

Also, towards the end, the question of which NBA player do you look most forward to playing against, the answer is (of course) Kobe - but Josh Smith snuck in there with a vote as well, which is pretty cool (then again, so did Quentin Ross and JJ Redick, so maybe it's meaningless).

Here are some pictures from the photo shoot. Judging from the pictures, big Al looks happy to be back with his Gator boys...
