The Atlanta Hawks have seen a bit of a renaissance in their offensive production in recent months, but that production hasn’t necessarily extended to their after timeout (ATO) sets, where they still rank near the bottom of the league in efficiency on a per-play basis. Atlanta’s normal halfcourt offense is heavily reliant on Trae Young’s brilliance in Double Drag action, as we’ve covered extensively in this space, but one of the keys to Double Drag is how often Young can get going downhill against a not-perfectly-set defense.
Even after a made shot, the Hawks will move the ball up the court quickly, catching defenses off guard as they get matched up.
