The Atlanta Hawks have an embarrassment of riches in the forward positions at the moment. This might mean that their first-round draft pick, Jalen Johnson, could struggle to get regular court time despite the incredible display he is putting on in summer league action.

The Hawks starting forwards are a lock when they are healthy. The newly minted $125 million man, John Collins, is the starting power forward, the Hawks would not have shelled out that much money for him to move to the bench.

When he is healthy again there is very little doubt that De’Andre Hunter will be the starting small forward.
