As part of these 30 previews in 30 days, we are talking to you regarding the 30 NBA franchises… in 30 days, no kidding. And as part of this 100% upstream analysis month, we also remind you that this year once more the TrashTalk Fantasy League will resume its rights for a new season. The opportunity between two big files to give you the trends for each franchise, and today we’re talking regarding the Atlanta Hawks!
What is the TrashTalk Fantasy League? Rules and explanations for playing TTFL, the best basketball game in the galaxy
#The good plans announced
Among the Piou-Pious, the Trae Young is king and the Georgian hairline will always be our favorite pick at the Hawks this year. The number one option in Atlanta and generally 30/10 with a good dose of throwing every game, Ice Trae remains a particularly reliable player in TTFL. Apart from the sniper, the pick Dejounte Murray can be interesting even if he will have fewer responsibilities than last year in San Antonio. With his jack of all trades (points, rebounds, assists and even steals), he can quickly blacken the stats sheet. Maybe wait to see how it did before testing it anyway. Finally, and even if he comes out of a complicated season, the Clint Capela choice still seems very safe. A monster on the rebound, effective in shooting, the Swiss still averaged more than 34 points in TTFL in 2021 (only 27 in 2022). Not necessarily a first choice but faced with a light racket, it can quickly go crazy.
#The dreaded carrots
Second option of the Hawks last year, John Collins saw Dejounte Murray land at the State Farm Arena and he is likely to fall back in the hierarchy in attack. Already irregular, we can fear that JC will be more disturbed by all the rumors around a possible trade. For the rest, Onyeka Okongwu, De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic are all capable of producing good performances but not regular enough to choose them without a candle in the church. You will have been warned.
#Top three team averages last season
- Trae Young : 41,4 points
- Dejounte Murray : 37,5 points
- John Collins : 28 points
That’s it for the Hawks version of the TTFL house tips, and we’d rather not remind you of Team TrashTalk’s rankings last year. Assume that we know what we are talking regarding, it will be better for everyone.
