Hawks season didn’t start out so hot 2-8 the first ten games. Coach Bud and GM Travis Glenn weren’t seeing eye to eye either. Coach Bud wanted to keep the same starters in while Travis wanted coach Bud to start playing younger guys. Christmas Day was when the Hawks pull the trigger on there first trade of the year. Hawks Record 9-22.

Hawks GM said “We love Jonathon and he has a bright future ahead of him with Philadelphia but we are in a rebuild and getting picks helps this.”

Coach Bud told the AJC “I have no clue what he’s doing in the office but we just lost a leader.”

Hawks extended Brice Johnson contract right after the move to a 3 Year 15 Million Dollar deal, Johnson is averaging career highs in every category, Points 21 per, Rebounds 8 per, Blocks 2.5 per game. GM and the Owner are both very happy with his improvements and love that’s he’s locked up in Atlanta with a friendly deal. February 1st Hawks roll in with the worst record in the NBA with a 13-34 record losers for 5 straight. Hawks GM made another move bringing back and old Atlanta Hawks veteran.

Draft Lottery: Hawks come in to the draft lottery with the 2, 5, 6, 9, 11 best odds for the first pick and also 3 is the Grizzlies but they have a top 5 protection on the pick.

IMG_0388.jpg

GM TG: This is the most important draft in franchise history. The possibility of having 4-6 players in the top 10 is crazy. I’m very excited for the draft lottery. I do believe there are about 10-12 All-Stars and 20 good players this draft.



Draft Lottery results:
The Atlanta Hawks got the results they wanted! They ended up with the number 1 overall pick. GM Travis Glenn said I’m super excited to get the pick now we need to get a staff together and start coming up with a plan. This year draft class is loaded there talent al over but we need to figure out what our biggest need is. We aren’t going to rule out trading down or maybe trading up with other draft picks.

Staff turnover:
Hawks GM and Owner did what they said and that was clean house. Hawks fires there CEO, Assistant GM, and Trainer. Head Coach Mike Budenholzer, Assist Coach John Smith and Scout Lucas Florey all contract expired and they don’t plan on bringing them back in. Hawks have interest in former Hawks great Doc Rivers. GM Travis Glenn said “We have a schedule interview with Doc coming up but we also have a few others schedule, he would be amazing fit for the team and his experience and NBA championship experience would be a nice fit with the young talent.

Doc Rivers says no to the Hawks coaching job and after 7 days the Hawks haven’t lock up a Head Coach or Assist Coach going to the NBA combine.

IMG_0409.jpg

Breaking News, the Atlanta Hawks have found there new Head Coach and Assist Coach. Herb Kay the 30 year old from UCLA who was the assistant coach is now the Head man for the Atlanta Hawks and Alexander Gordon from Miami Is now the Assistant Coach combine neither guy has head coaching experience or coaching in the NBA.

Herb Kay said “I’m very excited for this opportunity to be the Hawks next Head Coach. My main focus is the draft where we got the number 1 pick. I know everyone is doubting me and my experience but just wait I’ll be able to Coach these guys.”

GM TG said “We in Atlanta are lucky to have this guy. Every coach I’ve talk to raves about his attitude, details, and coaching style. We are a young team so why not bring in a young coach.”

Atlanta New Staff
CEO: Andrew Moore
Assistant GM: Andrew Sanderson

Trainer: Randy Martin

Draft Profiles:
1. DeAndra Ayton the number one overall player on most mock drafts, Ayton been mostly compared to David Robinson but I believe he can be like Joel Embiid but more athletic. Ayton averaging 22 pts, 14 Rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game.

IMG_0389.jpg

2. Luka Doncic could go anywhere from 2-10 just depends on what the teams needs. He often been compared to Gordon Heyward or Manu Ginobili. Luka averages this year 25 Points per game 6 Rebounds 6 Assist on 50% shooting from 3.



3. Collin Sexton Aka Young Bull is a tough strong athletic PG. Hes another guy that’s a top 5 prospect but with this loaded draft class he could go father down the draft. He’s been compared to Russell Westbrook and Eric Bledsoe. He’s averages this year 23 Points 5 Rebounds 8 Assist and 3.5 steals per game. A local kid from a high school in Georgia the Hawks are high on him.



4. Trae Young Mr. College Basketball, the kid can shoot from anywhere. He has the Steph Curry range and will pull up from half court if needed. He average this year 27 Points, 9 Assist this year.



5. Marvin Bagley, an NBA GM once said this kid is a once in a generation type player. He will have to improve his defense at times he takes plays off on that end. Best NBA comparison is Chris Bosh but some say if he can learn how to dribble better he could be a Kevin Durant type player. Most big boards have him going 1 or 2 with Ayton. He’s averages this year 25 Points, 13 Rebounds, 5 blocks per game.



6. Michael Porter Jr. only played (real life) three games this year due to a back injury but in those games everyone came out saying he has Kevin Durant potential. Most draft boards have him going anywhere from 3-7. He’s averages 30 points 7 rebounds and 5 assist per game.



7. Mo Bamba the long range center. This guy has a 8 foot wing span, will need to put weight on but has the potential to maybe be an Anthony Davis type guy or better with his length, some say he could also be Rudy Gobert. He average 17 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks per game this yr.



8. Kevin Knox had flashes of being a top 3 player in the draft but at times would just stand around and watch, this guy has potential to be a Paul George in the league. He average 20 points, 8 rebounds per game.



9. Wendall Carter the other forgotten big guy for Duke this year. Most people wouldn’t talk about him because of Marvin Bagley but him and Marvin destroy teams this year. He has potential to be great if teams take the time to develop him. He average 23 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks per game next to Marvin Bagley



10. LaMelo Ball brother of Lonzo Ball the kid has potential to be better than his brother. Youngest guy in the draft but will have to sit out a year before playing. Some coaches say he’s uncoachable due to his loud mouth father, some say he just has fun playing the game and has mature yet. He average 22.5 points, 10assist per game overseas.

Hawks brought in 12 guys for there pre draft workouts. The two top names in the draft workout Marvin Bagley and DeAndra Ayton. But after the Pre-draft workouts is where the Hawks changed up the draft order.

IMG_0407.jpg

Breaking News the Atlanta Hawks have trades there number 1 overall draft pick to the Knicks the Hawks get the Knicks number 2 pick and both second round picks.

Draft Day:
Atlanta Hawks with the number 2 pick in the draft the Hawks select Marvin Bagley from Duke University!

Hawks GM TG: This is who we wanted from the start, last year at Duke he should of been a senior in high school but he reclassify. He still dominated College Basketball from start to finish.

IMG_0412.jpg

Atlanta Hawks with the number 5 pick overall take Collin Sexton from Alabama and also a Georgia boy from Pebblebrook High School.

GM TG: We have our point guard of the future. This guy has some raw spots but will develop into a scorer. At Alabama he didn’t have the best team surrounding him and at teams had to force the action. Can’t wait to see the Sexton to Bagley combo.

IMG_0411.jpg

Atlanta Hawks with the number 6 pick overall take Mohamed Bamba from Texas University.

GM TG: This guy has the most potential in the draft and if he can develop a few post moves, to go along with his nice jump shot he could be the next Anthony Davis. He will have to put on some weight.

IMG_0413.jpg

Hawks Trade 20 overall pick, 2021 Philadelphia 1st Round pick, 16 and 29 second round pick
To
Miami for the 10th overall pick.

Mavs Trade there 12 pick. 11 second round pick
To
Atlanta for there 9th pic

Atlanta uses there 10th and 11th pick overall to take Kevin Knox from Kentucky University, and LaMelo Ball who will stay overseas for one more yr.

GM TG: Kevin Knox is a scorer and might lead our team in scoring. We will have to work on him moving more because at times at Kentucky he would stand around and watch. If he can learn to cut hard, we might have the next Paul George. LaMelo Ball, PG naturally but we want him to learn to play the 2. Has a nice jump shot and can score at will. Hopefully daddy can keep his mouth shut.

IMG_0414.jpg



Hawks Trade 12th pick to Nets for 15 pick and there 28 overall 2nd Round pick.

Hawks use there 15 pick to take Shai Alexander from Kentucky University. Project player.

GM TG: Long, lengthy, raw prospect. He will be a developing player because he has tools to play PG and has a slashing type SG ability but doesn’t have a good enough jump shot at SG.



Hawks get there 20th pick back and take Theo Pinson from North Carolina University!

GM TG: Theo Pinson a great athlete, who has gotten better every year in college. He has the ability to average a triple double.

After the Theo Pinson draft pick, GM TG scream the rebuild is on and we got the right guys that will lead this rebuild.



Hawks final selection came in the 2nd Round 3rd pick when the Hawks selected LiAngelo Ball.

GM TG: will play a lot in the G-League some in the NBA, can shoot the 3 at an NBA level.

Clippers traded DeAndra Jordon to Boston

Kobi Simmons

Hawks bring back its two young guys who improve from rookie year to there sophomore year. Both will be in rotation maybe starters depends on how training camp goes.

Summer League in Vegas:
Hawks young guys have been destroying the summer league, led by Collin Sexton. The Hawks will take on Michael Porter and the Knicks in the NBA summer league championship. Hawks won the summer league title behind Collin Sexton 35 points and 3 Top ten plays.













GM TG: I’m so proud of these guys, coming together and winning this year summer league. Just to show you the things to come in Atlanta are big. Also it’s scary because Marvin Bagley didn’t play in this year summer league. I’m proud of Collin Sexton for winning this year summer league MVP in Las Vegas.
