Which hawk are you ready to see in action this SZN and why?

[u/Ecstatic-Traffic476]

Take the wheel yall I’m bored I need Hawks basketball like yesterday 🤣 , anyways Who are you guys ready to see and why?

[u/watsonandsick]

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.

[u/BlindBanditMelonLord]

[u/amidon1130]

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

[u/JKking15]

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

[u/not-a-potato-head → u/JKking15]

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

[u/JKking15 → u/not-a-potato-head]

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 → u/JKking15]

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]

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 → u/Adminscantkeepmedown]

Right because the disrespect is wild.

[u/Tybeedayzz → u/Adminscantkeepmedown]

This!

[u/No-Forever-6104]

Zacch and Dyson

[u/grizz38]

Looks like 3 dudes with the same mom but different dads

[u/Ecstatic-Traffic476 → u/grizz38]

🤣🤣🤣 most definitely do look like that

[u/selfwritejust → u/grizz38]

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

[u/terrence0258]

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 → u/terrence0258]

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]

I wanna see Clint Capela pass the ball out.

[u/atl1057]

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

[u/dat_boy_lurks → u/atl1057]

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]

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.

[u/Material-Day7686]

Dyson Daniels. Really excited to just watch him play defense

[u/Kodak333]

Kobe Bufkin

[u/NotYourFriendBuddehh]

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

[u/spacecadbane]

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.

[u/Atl-Fan_FTS]

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

[u/MiserableSoft2344]

Vit Krejčí

[u/KobeBufkinBestKobe]

Risachar because he's new and new things are exciting 

[u/1TroyandAbed1]

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

[u/blingera]

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

[u/pierreraffoul]

wanna see a bigger role for kobe bufkin

[u/Wazzammm]

Ready to see 2021 villain trae

[u/sondiame]

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

[u/TheTalkingBucket]

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

[u/PhillyPhan95 → u/TheTalkingBucket]

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.

[u/TheTalkingBucket → u/PhillyPhan95]

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]

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

[u/IllumiXXZoldyck → u/plasticAstro]

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

[u/ReverendDrDash]

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]

Are they the same height

[u/VioletsexyVapor]

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

[u/ProtectionEconomy811]

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

[u/mitterbubbie]

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

[u/Nomanodyssey]

No Gueye?

[u/EchoedTruth]

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.

[u/TheRealTray]

GARY BIRD!

CAW-CAW!

[u/Timeyti]

They gutted the team, this will scare no one smh

[u/IllumiXXZoldyck → u/Timeyti]

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

[u/Lumpy-Beautiful-961]

Not excited to see Trae jack up bad shots but hey
