Hawks Season Preview 2022-23
Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks made waves in the 2021 postseason, reaching the Eastern Conference finals, but it didn’t lead to bigger things the following season in 2022.
“For any team that makes it to the Final Four of the playoffs in the NBA, there has to be a lot of things that go right for your team,” Young told Complex. “For us, we have to have guys healthy for the whole year and get off to a great start, and just stick to it. Getting that far is not easy, you have to have a little bit of luck and some things go your way throughout the year and hopefully things fall your way later on.”
Atlanta looks to right the ship after barely making the playoffs and bowing out in the first round. The Hawks made offseason moves to build around Young.
“Sometimes, I don’t look back too much. I appreciate what has gotten me to this point, I take time every now and then and appreciate where I’m at now and put things into perspective, but at the same time I’m trying to look forward and keep going because I know I have a long ways to go,” Young told Complex.
Hawks head coach Nate McMillan also doesn’t want to look back, going into a critical season. McMillan also recognizes that there’s important questions to answer the new season nears.
“Who are we? Who do we want to become? How are we gonna get there?” McMillan said via The Associated Press. “We have to establish and create our identity. The last two seasons are now behind us. This is a new year, a new opportunity, a new challenge.”
Atlanta created a new opportunity with the addition of All-Star guard Dejounte Murray. Last season with the San Antonio Spurs, Murray averaged 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists, and two steals per game.
“He adds a lot,” Young told Complex regarding Murray. “He is a very versatile guard who can score and pass the ball, but he’s also really good on defense and will help on that end. I think anytime you can add a smart basketball player, I think it’s great for any team. I think he makes our team better and we are looking forward to going out and proving it.”
Murray doesn’t see a competition for who scores the most or who is the star of the team.
“I ain’t trying to step on no toes,” Murray said via The Associated Press. “They have a great thing going here. Trae earned the rights of who he is to this organization. I’m coming to help.”
Atlanta has a solid core of starters with Young and Murray — De’Andre Hunter, John Collins, and Clint Capela. The Hawks also have solid players off the bench in Bogdan Bogdanovic, Onyeka Okongwu, and Justin Holiday. That supporting cast could help Young achieve the biggest thing he wants out of this season.
“I’m so locked in on winning a championship,” Young said per The Associated Press. “Nothing else.”
