While changes to the roster are possible between now and the start of training camp in September, the 2018-19 Atlanta Hawks might just be “set” right now. Lingering questions remain about Dennis Schroder’s trade market but, aside from that potential drama, much of the roster seems to be locked in place for the near future and that provides an interesting opportunity for analysis.
Prior to each season, Nate Silver and the crew at FiveThirtyEight use their CARMELO model to project each NBA player looking forward in a number of categories. The data is publicly available, tracking what a player has done in the past (and at the college level for rookies) and using a formula to look ahead while valuing players by salary.
