I actually appreciate that the Hawks are not as strong offensively as they have been in previous years because I believe it has led to a better overall team. Trae Young, as you mentioned, may never be the best defender on any team, but he has made some impactful defensive plays lately. Additionally, his rebounding has improved in recent games. If he can continue averaging five to six rebounds per game, along with 12 assists and 20 points, the Hawks will have a strong chance of making the playoffs as one of the top teams in the East-there’s no doubt about it! Dyson Daniels’ defense is infectious; the effort he brings night after night has inspired the entire team. Suddenly, we see players sticking their hands out to intercept passes, positioning their bodies effectively to cut off screens, and playing a tougher brand of defense. This is a hallmark of a team that is well-gelled and cohesive.
Adding Dyson Daniels was huge he has been great for them on the defensive end and we know how good he is as a playmaker it’s a bit mind blogging that the Pelicans didn’t play him that much. Deandre Hunter dude was an after thought and I think he was so bad last year that Hawks fans wanted him gone but now it looks like found his groove and is being I guess that third option next to Trae and Jalen No words to say about Jalen he been fantastic for them on both ends and he should be an all star if the Hawks keeps up this pace Trae Young is showing why he one of the best playmakers in the league with his assists weather he throwing lobs and making great passes when guys are cutting. The Hawks finally build a solid team around Trae that will make him most effective and that’s putting a bunch of solid 3 and D guys around him Risache has also shown flashes that he can be a really good 3 and D player. He can be MPJ but he can play defense So yeah the Hawks could be a dangerous team nobody wants to face in the playoffs in the east
the 3 wings (dyson, risacher, jj) are so nice around trae and i even have to say deandre hunter looks VERY good this szn so i gotta include him, the hawks are a fun watch for sure, trae been super nice playmaking wise tho his shooting splits are kinda down this szn but im sure those will go back up sometime, capela also looks nice, yea this team is fun
Great Barrier Thief's brother Dash Daniels just signed with Melbourne United under the NBL's Next Star program for the 24/25 season. Should be super fun to watch his development.
I mean i am not that surprised the Hawks are looking really good. All Trae needed was some help so that he didn't need to shoot the ball 20 times. Trae can still get 30 at any given time, but since he is rather inefficient when doing so, its much better for the team when he focusses more on playmaking and doesnt have to force shots. Still worried about their overall defense though...
@@urbaindelva7869 because they're still taking time to gel. The overall defense from each individual is much improved from their personnel last year, it's their cohesiveness as a team defense that is still clunky, nothing a few months of NBA basketball won't fix.
Why do you say that? Trae has had help. HE'S THE ONE who's been a crazy shooting ballhawk as if he doesn't have teammates. HE'S THE ONE who before now didn't attempt to play defense and others had to make up for his deficiency. During this run JJ, Hunter, Daniels and Risacher have been the main contributors but Trae gets all the credit?
@@shonuf5152The whole team has been contributing but he’s the best player he’s gonna get blamed for the losses and also highlighted for the wins that’s just how it is
I would probably add a couple more 3 pt shooters. One from the wing in case Bogdanovic doesn't come out of his stroke or someone goes down due to injury. And another big who can shoot from outside the paint, or maybe find a way to get Larry Nance Jr. some more playing time, because he has a decent jumper.
I'm still not convinced about this team. Their run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021 is already proven to be a fluke because they were never able to retain that level again.
I am a Hawks fan and if I was the front office I would explore Ayton if I’m still trying to compete with Trae young. Ayton has the defense and rebounding needed for a hawks team with Trae but also comes with the upside with his offensive talent and ability to space better than Capela. He also has better general touch than Capela and can hit more shots in the lane on pick and roll opportunities. He also started shooting 3s occasionally and is making 3s occasionally. Ayton is a gamble but he’s the center on the market who has the biggest upside and best fit next to Trae. He also is the same age as Trae so with a center like Ayton you still give yourself a 5-6 year window to compete for a championship. If Jalen becomes an all star as well, we won’t need all star play from Ayton but just solid consistency and double doubles. Based on how Ayton plays with Trae the hawks can decide how they want to move with contracts as well.
@@joelkurapati6143 agree but with O his defense hasn’t been there as it has been previous seasons & the shooting hasn’t seemed to progress. plus i don’t think the Jazz would be willing to trade for Clint.

If I’m a hawk I’m thinking if we just traded Murray for Daniels we won.

Hunter is the 3rd wing, Dyson is more like a taller 2 guard
@@TheMissiIethe 2 guard is more or less a wing position as of the last 10 years bro
I thought the 2 and 3 were always considered the wings? Since the point guard most typically operates near the center
Imagine a starting lineup of Trae Dyson Zacc JJ and Ayton instead of Capela
finaly my glorious hawks are getting the attention they deserve.

He should come backup dyson next year😍😍😍

It would be next level for the ATL to get him too.

Their defense should be better than it is based on their personnel, and Idk why it's not.

Trae Young is a generational offensive talent and a top 12 player in the league whether you guys like it or not
If were going rn, jokic, Giannis, Luka, shai, ant, Tatum, kd, lebron, Steph, ad, booker, Mitchell, ja, wemby, still a few names
Exactly

This might sound crazy but give Risacher 3 years and he will be best player on the team. Keep this team together.
Why, what's better about him than Jalen Johnson?
based take CAW CAW
Who had Atlanta for the win in that trade? Not me
Our family is a UVa and Ga Tech family. So I’ve always hoped for great things from Dre!

Ayton lacks motors and gets injured a lot why you think the suns traded him
Maybe Thunder should have traded for Dyson Daniels.
Atlanta hawk tuahs!

Uh, no. Not going to happen.
Not this year but will
Happen once he leads league in points and assists and are top 3 team
@@urbaindelva7869 why? Maybe he won't win this year, but he's a top 5 player in the league rn.
Jalen Johnson is him!
we need that elite rim protection from a guy like Walker Kessler. Big O for Walker then have Clint come off the bench
He'll nah
@ ydkb
Clint needs to be the one to go his contract is expiring
Also okongwu is a better bench big with a guy like Walker. Okongwu has spacing capabilities Clint has none
