The Atlanta Hawks are one of the hottest stories in the NBA in the wake of their moves over the last ten days.
Kristaps Porzingis, when healthy, is one of the most impactful two-way bigs in the NBA. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a pesky perimeter defender* with a reliable three-point shot off the catch (42.1% over the past two seasons), and he will be a clean fit in Atlanta’s top seven.
Luke Kennard is known for his deadly perimeter shooting, but can also shoulder some ball-handling duties too, posting a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio** while spending about half of his minutes at point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies last season.
