The Atlanta Hawks have, at long last, started training camp ahead of the team’s first preseason game next week as well the impending start of the regular season.
With training camp and its corresponding media day, the hubbub around each and every team certainly reaches its preseason zenith as players begin to talk about the upcoming season as well as hype themselves and their teammates up with high praise.
Similarly, head coaches are often also “guilty” of playing this hype game, and Hawks Head Coach Lloyd Pierce dipped his toe into such waters during his discussion of #4 overall pick De’Andre Hunter out of Virginia.
