- De’Andre Hunter
- John Collins
- Clint Capela
Although the arrival of Dejounte Murray is the big news of the season for the Hawks, all eyes will be on Trae Young. The landing of the former Spurs player can lead to Two very different paths and with very different results.
On the one hand, everything could continue as usual for the star, that is, that he takes on the big creative and scoring load and continues to produce with the ball in his hands. A trail that Atlanta fans know all too well. Secondly, Young could delegate to Murray a high volume of use so that he began playing off the ball, seeking to maximize his shot after pass and blocking outputs.
The latter would allow the young star of the Hawks to reach the final stretch of the course less tired and, above all, that the team’s attack would not be so predictable. All this without forgetting the extra that would mean having two elite handlers like Murray and Young.
Atlanta Hawks It seems like the history of the project that never settles. Yes, in the 2020-2021 season they reached the Conference Finals and who knows what his fate would have been if Young didn’t get injured. But that great result had a specific context that time has been responsible for putting the group in its place. Heading for Trae’s fifth campaign As a leader, the franchise has given a new blow on the table with the aim of settling in the noble zone of the East.
With Dejounte Murray on the team, a defensive point guard with rising scoring production, plus up-and-coming De’Andre Hunter and intriguing AJ Griffin, the Hawks have set themselves the challenge of having a solid season. In all the time that this project has been going on, those from Georgia have not managed to be regular and have always changed their course in recent weeks. The previous season they finished in ninth position, tied for tenth place, and only entered the playoffs thanks to the existence of the Play-In.
Now, after shedding Kevin Huerter and other assets and saying goodbye to Danilo Gallinari, the Hawks must compete and be regular from day 1.
