## Resource

Atlanta Hawks are building for the future with a loaded offseason that brought in Devin Carter, Aaron Wiggins, Lu Dort, Ryan Nembhard, and top draft picks Kingston Flemings, Zuby Ejiofor, and Henri Veesaar. After falling to the Knicks in the 2026 playoffs — the only team to beat them twice that series — they’re now stocked with talent centered around rising star Jalen Johnson, who averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 7.8 assists last season. Execs believe if Johnson develops a consistent jumper, he could become a top-10 player. The projected starting five: McCollum, Alexander-Walker, Daniels, Johnson, and Okongwu — poised to end their playoff drought since 2021.
