The Atlanta Hawks are one of the hottest teams in the league over the last 16 games. Coach Nick breaks down the differences since they traded Trae Young, both offensively and defensively.
No other player on the roster has been thriving as much as Nickeil Alexander-Walker during this streak. Studying how he’s getting his shots explains the difference between the Hawks' offense now versus under Trae Young. We look at how Quin Snyder is utilizing NAW in corner actions and hand-offs to create ruthlessly efficient looks.
Without Trae Young on the floor, the Hawks have relied more heavily on offensive sets to generate good looks. This is a coach’s dream. We break down the HORNS sets and zoom actions that are springing players loose. Having a veteran like CJ McCollum out there helps immensely. He knows how to read a defense and find Alexander-Walker as he cuts from corner to corner.
We also examine:
The impact of replacing Trae Young with CJ McCollum.
How the Hawks improved their turnover percentage to rank 13th in the league
The impressive 120.5 Offensive Rating during this 17-game span.
The playmaking of Jalen Johnson, which has gone under the radar for far too long.
