The NBA Preseason has come and gone, and quite frankly we didn’t learn too much new information about these Atlanta Hawks. The main characters figure to stay the main characters, as there was minimal roster turnover after a wildly successful season a year ago.
The Hawks return all seven of the players who saw the most minutes for the club in 2020-21 as well as nine of the top 10. In lieu of wholesale changes, the Hawks penned Trae Young, John Collins, and head coach Nate McMillan to long term contracts and essentially ran the whole thing back, looking to build upon their upward climb from March of last season onward.
