The Atlanta Hawks are now 13-29 for the season and currently No. 12 in the Eastern Conference. As compared to the rest of the league, the Hawks are still firmly in the basement, but this year isn’t about the wins and losses that can be shown in the standings. Rookies Trae Young and Kevin Huerter are starting to figure out how to be serviceable NBA players. Sophomore John Collins has taken an enormous leap from his rookie season and is averaging close to a 20-point double-double.
Despite their overall record, they’ve found ways to be somewhat competitive and win contests here and there recently.
