The Atlanta Hawks were gifted a chance to completely change the trajectory of the franchise, and if you squint, you can start to see the framework of a contender being built. They’ve revamped their identity to focus on versatility and length in just 3 roster moves and have positioned themselves to build organically. Continuity wins championships in this league, and that begins with drafting well and committing to development.
This team isn’t contending by taking a win-now swing next season, but there’s a plan finally forming to build a quality roster the ethical way. Zaccharie Risacher was the first domino to fall, but the rationale behind his selection was indicative of every other move, trade, and pick to follow.
