13. Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks made a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Finals this past season. Even  though they were a bit of their timeline, you have to be encouraged by what transpired in the playoffs last year.

I’m not sure if the Hawks are going to be able to top that this season, but as long as they have Trae Young leading the way they’re going to have a shot on any given night. Re-signing John Collins was almost equally as important.

The duo of Young and Collins has developed into one of the best in the league. The big question is whether or not it will be enough to keep up with the rest of the East. Either way, you have to love  the direction the Hawks are heading in.
