## Resource

Nickeil Alexander-Walker exploded onto the scene this past season, earning the Most Improved Player award after a career-defining leap. Signed via sign-and-trade, he started off the bench but seized the moment when Trae Young went down, stepping into the starting role and never looking back. Averaging over 20 points, hitting threes at a high rate, and locking down defensively, he became the Hawks’ second option behind Jalen Johnson — proving his adaptability and value far beyond his original role. Signed to a four-year, $60M deal ($15M/year), his performance now looks like a steal in today’s NBA. Even if his scoring load dips with more shot creators, his versatility and contract give Atlanta flexibility — he’s a cornerstone piece for whatever comes next.
