Bombs over Bog'Don! The Official 20-2021 Atlanta Hawks Thread #RIPCHAR #WeMove

[Rickdogg44]

Atlanta Hawks in the SI top 100 NBA players:



No. 64, Bogdan Bogdanovic, G/F
Bogdanovic is coming off of the hottest shooting stretch of his career, shooting 45.5 from three on high volume after Mar. 1.

No. 56, De’Andre Hunter, F
Hunter cracks SI’s Top 100 despite only playing a small portion of last season. Despite the small sample, the high-level two-way play he provided during that stretch was nearly enough for him to make the top-50.

No. 54, John Collins, F
Collins posted another strong season in 2020-21, earning a lucrative extension in the process. An improved defender, he finally earned the respect he deserves around the league with a very solid postseason.

No. 48, Clint Capela, C
One of the best defensive centers in the NBA, Capela was the key cog in transforming the Hawks’ defense from a bad to above average. He led the NBA in rebounding to boot, and battled with the likes of Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez while remaining durable throughout a grueling postseason run.

No. 17, Trae Young, G
No surprise here that Young cracks the top-20. SI had him at 29 last season, and he proved he was a winner on top of being a superstar in the 2021 postseason.

I'm going to check the 16 above Trae

I'm going to check the 16 above Trae

I think he's better than Beal and Booker

I think he's better than Beal and Booker

It’s definitely debatable

Biggest thing I’m looking for is how does Trae get into that Top 10 discussion

Bron
KD
Giannis
Steph
Harden
Jokic
Embiid
Luka
Kawhi
AD

——

Next tier:

Dame
PG
Jimmy
Booker
Beal
Kyrie

I think Trae is right there, definitely needs at minimum an All Star game and to make an All NBA team to break through to that next group ahead of him

 

[#1 pick]

Here's what I see

1. Okongwu, Trae, and Hunter is not getting moved.

2. JC and Kevin for the right price. JC looking Myles Turner like

3. Capela, only if we can get Ayton or Gobert to replace him.

4. Bogi might be getting traded for cap space.

5. Pelicans 8th pick looking like Atlanta wants that.
