Photo by Christian Bonin/NBAE via The Atlanta Hawks made a trade with the Golden State Warriors on draft day 2022 to acquire the 51st pick, Tyrese Martin. Martin wasn't on anybody's mock drafts, so he immediately had a chip on his shoulder when he came in. He turned his opportunity into gold during the NBA 2K23 Summer League with the Hawks, where he showcased an array of skills on both sides of the ball. That landed him a contract with the Hawks, but he saw most of his time with the College Park Skyhawks where was able to work on his game, averaging 18 points, 9.2...

Why Jordan Hawkins is perfect fit for Hawks with No. 15 pick in 2023 NBA Draft

The Atlanta Hawks need everything and need nothing.

What should the Atlanta Hawks do with Vit Krejci?

The Atlanta Hawks have a fascinating situation this offseason. They made the massive trade last offseason to get Dejounte Murray.

2022-23 Atlanta Hawks Player Season Review: Onyeka Okongwu

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ Onyeka Okongwu, franchise center? With his play this past season, it’s a question that must be asked. Despite spending the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft on a player with off the chart potential, we have yet to see Okongwu in a 30-minute per game role. Using such a high lottery pick on a player usually means a fast track to a starting spot, but Okongwu has started just 28 games out of 178 appearances in his three-year career — almost only as an injury replacement for Clint Capela. Back in the summer of 2020, the Hawks were coming off...

2022-23 Atlanta Hawks Player Season Review: Vit Krejci

Photo by Todd Kirkland/ Vit Krejci came to Atlanta as a project player, and a season later it’s more than fair to say he has yet to shed that label. After being drafted 37th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards, Krejci was promptly traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Later that offseason, he signed a multi-year contract and began his playing career with the G League affiliate Oklahoma City Blue to help rehab a left knee injury he sustained while playing in Europe. In the 2022 offseason, the Hawks flipped Maurice Harkless for Krejci and the...

2022-23 Atlanta Hawks Player Season Review: AJ Griffin

Photo By Winslow Townson/ If there’s one thing we learned about AJ Griffin during his rookie season, it’s that he can shoot the lights out. On draft day, it felt as if Griffin fell in the Hawks lap after he was selected with the 16th pick. Griffin was a young and raw prospect coming out of Duke, but one thing for certain was that he was a good three-point shooter. With the Hawks and then coach Nate McMillan going with the philosophy of only playing experienced and established players, it was a chance that Griffin wasn't going to see a lot of time on the court this...
