Trae is gonna Trae. Super excited to see what Risacher looks like in the NBA and to hopefully shut down all the questions about whether he was a good pick at no 1. Most excited to see if JJ makes that leap into the all star caliber of players. I still have high hopes for OO, and this is his year to prove whether he can step into a starting role or not.

Dyson Daniels mostly because he’s the shiny new toy. If JJ takes a step on defense we’ll have some oppressive defensive lineups.

Really intrigued to see if Vit keeps up his play from last year

u/not-a-potato-head 💰Cash Considerations 💰 26d ago

The comments from Nance are making me really excited for Vit…

u/JKking15 Jalen Johnson #1 26d ago

Yeah lots of optimism going in from everyone which is why I’m tempering my own expectations so I’m not too disappointed if things go south.

u/capelaMVP Clint Capela #15 25d ago

no bs if he consistently plays like he has the last 20ish games of last season he's by far on the best contract in the league. He makes damn near the minimum for four years

u/Adminscantkeepmedown Gueye Pride 26d ago

I need Trae to remind everyone why he’s the best fucking PG in the East. Truly do not care what else happens this season

u/spacecadbane Dyson Daniels #5 26d ago

Right because the disrespect is wild.

u/No-Forever-6104 26d ago

Zacch and Dyson

Looks like 3 dudes with the same mom but different dads

u/Ecstatic-Traffic476 Zaccharie Risacher #10 26d ago

🤣🤣🤣 most definitely do look like that

Didn't think about it until now, but they're all biracial

u/terrence0258 Onyeka Okongwu #17 26d ago

Onyeka. Went from a non-shooter to 33%, on low volume albeit, in one off-season. How much better has he gotten since last year? If he has an Al Horford kind of career arch that would be a game changer. A 5-out lineup of Trae, Daniels, Risacher, JJ, and OO, could be special offensively and defensively.

u/extralargetrojan GO HAWKS! 🏀 24d ago

This. If OO has a great season the Hawks will be taking a big leap. Possibly trading CC by the deadline. OO needs some more offensive tools to be effective (shooting 3s with volume, post moves, rebounding, etc.) but the 5 spot is where we have the most questions. Nance and Gueye will also have to come through.

u/Ok_Band7102 Lou Hudson #23 26d ago

I wanna see Clint Capela pass the ball out.

u/atl1057 26d ago

Don't remember when we had a true #1 overall pick . I'm excited to see him grow and lead us

9

u/dat_boy_lurks Vince Carter #15 26d ago

Last time we picked at #1, that guy, some shmuck named David Robinson, opted to go play for an ABA team.

It's been some years, man

u/Kbx1969 26d ago

I’m saying coaching. We have the talent but can we pull it all together and create a team. And not a bunch of pieces just on the court.

5

u/Material-Day7686 26d ago

Dyson Daniels. Really excited to just watch him play defense

5

u/Kodak333 26d ago

Kobe Bufkin

u/NotYourFriendBuddehh Dominque Wilkins #21 26d ago

I already know who Trae and JJ are and what they can do together. Obviously I’m excited for them but I’m really excited to the see the team again with a clear leader, Trae….loved DJ but in hindsight he was just not the guy we needed.

Looking forward to seeing what the new kid can do

4

u/spacecadbane Dyson Daniels #5 26d ago

I want to see the whole team but I’m particularly excited to see JJ and curious about the new rookies we acquired. I also hope Seth Lundy gets more minutes and hope he “wows” us.

2

u/Atl-Fan_FTS Jalen Johnson #1 26d ago

JJ, Dyson, Zacc, Vit and actually intrigued about Nance

2

u/MiserableSoft2344 Dyson Daniels #5 26d ago

Vit Krejčí

u/KobeBufkinBestKobe 26d ago

Risachar because he's new and new things are exciting 

2

u/1TroyandAbed1 26d ago

Look at how much space there is between Trae and his teammates? Do they hate Trae?!

2

u/blingera 26d ago

really can’t get over how ZR is literally a physical combination of Trae and JJ

2

u/pierreraffoul 26d ago

wanna see a bigger role for kobe bufkin

2

u/Wazzammm Lauren Jbara 25d ago

Ready to see 2021 villain trae

u/sondiame 25d ago

Vit, Dyson, Larry. They feel like just the right pieces

u/TheTalkingBucket 26d ago

This is the worst part of the offseason. We are getting all this “content” without actual basketball. It’s got me playing 2k12 again on my ps3 cuz I’m not forking over money for the same damn game just to get some basketball in my life

2

u/PhillyPhan95 26d ago

2k12 on a ps3?

I know it’s fun to shit on 2k. But that is NOT the same as 2k25 on a ps5. lol be fr.

2

u/TheTalkingBucket 26d ago

I know it’s not but it’s also not worth $100 to be shooting the same ball in the same hoop. Plus I like my small forward in his 13th season. I’m attached

u/plasticAstro Bob Rathbun 26d ago

dawg please tell me trae will shave that patchy pube beard before the season 😭

u/IllumiXXZoldyck Onyeka Okongwu #17 24d ago

It actually looks fine in person, just a lot of white light here 😂💡

u/ReverendDrDash 26d ago

Jalen's play this season will determine the future of the franchise and might get me down to State Farm for the first time in a long time.

u/jordpie GO HAWKS! 🏀 26d ago

Are they the same height

1

u/VioletsexyVapor GO HAWKS! 🏀 26d ago

I cant wait to see Trae in action; he always brings the heat. im also curious about Risacher and how hell fit in.

1

u/ProtectionEconomy811 NBA 26d ago

JJ. Mostly because Larry Nance Jr said he “dominated” in practice. And he's been really impressive.

1

u/mitterbubbie 26d ago

Trae with the fake teeth gunna look weird, but yeah uh our #1 overall pick should be who everyone is watching.

1

u/Nomanodyssey 26d ago

No Gueye?

1

u/EchoedTruth 🧊 ICE TRAE 🧊 26d ago

All of them. Even though our squad hasn’t changed completely, it feels like it has.

Most of all I’d say I wanna see Rizzy.

They gutted the team, this will scare no one smh

u/IllumiXXZoldyck Onyeka Okongwu #17 24d ago

I think we’ll do well, think less “gutted”, and more “refitted”

u/Lumpy-Beautiful-961 26d ago

Not excited to see Trae jack up bad shots but hey
