After the Atlanta Hawks revamped the roster this offseason, everyone's focus was on this next season. After all, the team is one of the best in the conference just one year removed from a disappointing season that ended in the Play-In.
But coach Quin Snyder revealed during the Hawks' 2025 Media Day that the timeline in Atlanta can be much longer than initially assumed, citing the stat that the Hawks are the third-youngest team in the league this season.
This puts the team's summer into new context. What was an already impressive win-now performance by Onsi Saleh is now a masterclass that advances the team's short and long-term futures.
