Kevin Huerter

The Atlanta Hawks might be making some changes this NBA offseason after an underwhelming year. The Hawks made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season when no one expected much. This season, the Hawks were looking to prove that last season was not a fluke but was unable to.

Grading Kevin Huerter's fourth season in the NBA.

Having agreed to a 4 year, $65 million contract extension before the start of the regular season, swingman Kevin Huerter entered his fourth season in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks knowing that he no longer needed to worry about his contractual status in the near future and that he would remain with the team that drafted him back in 2018 as a key member of the roster.

The Hawks managed to avoid going down 0-3 against the Miami Heat in the opening round of the playoffs. But, they won by just a single point and the Heat have looked much better in the first two games. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown,...

Huerter produced four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 110-86 loss to Miami. While Huerter did post 13 points, five rebounds and four assists in Game 3, he's really struggled to find his offensive rhythm thus far in the series. Huerter is now a combined 6-of-26 from beyond the arc, and he's scored fewer than 10 points in three of four games.

The Hawks have made it clear that they will not be bullied by the Miami Heat.

There would be no better time for a classic performance from Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter than Friday’s Play-In Tournament tilt against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hawks are coming off of thrashing the visiting Charlotte Hornets while the Cavs took a loss on the road to the Brooklyn Nets.

I certainly like the Atlanta Hawks' chances to beat the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. The Hawks can really score and shoot it at a high percentage behind Huerter and Trae Young. Nothing is better than localizing a national story. I always love seeing former Shen and Maryland standout Kevin Huerter succeed. He comes from an awesome family as his parents and siblings are great people. Kevin gave me radio and TV time this week as he is always a great interview. He is always humble and never forgets where he came from. Here is my quick take on this from the Times Union:
