What will Hawks offense look like under Quin Snyder?

[Jamaaliver]

Our defense is stabilizing...but the offense is getting worse. Hopefully the numbers are just skewed by the two terrible losses to WAS and INDY.

The last 10 games...Hawks have had the worst Offense in the NBA.

No coincidence that Trae has been injured/absent for most of that time.

It's worth noting that the defense has been league average and the team has gone 4-6 in that span.

Though two of those victories came on lucky, last minute shot attempts.

Not only Trae missing, but Trae, Bogi and Bey struggling from 3 as well.

Remember when Trae couldn't get the ball in-bounded against Boston in the playoffs on a key possession late in the elimination game.

Jalen has taken over the in bounds duties and it's a wonderful adjustment.

Phenomenal breakdown on some of the wrinkles added by Quin to this offense:

Hawks are finally humming offensively. It's insane how Indiana can manage to come out on the winning side of so many shootouts, but we can't quite seem to pull out the victory on big scoring nights.

A deeply flawed roster is right.
I'm thankful to have Coach

Our franchise is a clown show, but our Head Coach is an offensive genius.

I still believe Trae + Quin is a blueprint to contention...assuming the front office can get out its own way.

SIGNS OF PROGRESS FOR ATLANTA’S OFFENSE



*As seen in the table above, since January 27th, Atlanta has increased their rim-shooting frequency from 29.2% to 32.9%, and have improved their conversion rate from 61.9% to 67.5%.


While a number of factors have contributed to this recent offensive success, perhaps the biggest one has been the dramatic improvement seen in both their rim shooting frequency and accuracy since January 27th*. But what’s driving this improvement?

For one, the Hawks have done a better job of using both ball movement and player movement in the half-court in order to create easier looks around the basket. Atlanta has upped their assist percentage from 59.6% to 62.6% over the past three weeks.

While the Hawks have certainly been sharing the ball more, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the improved shooting we’ve seen from Trae Young during this recent stretch, and the impact this has had on the team’s ability to create shots at the rim.

Since January 27th, Young has shot 40.7% from the perimeter — including a 42% mark on non-heave, above the break threes, which is nearly 5% higher than his season-long efficiency on these types of shots (37.2%) per pbpstats.

Young is always priority No. 1 for opposing defenses, and I’m not suggesting that Atlanta’s opponents haven’t been throwing multiple defenders at Young all season long. But when he has it rolling like he has over the past ten games, it forces defenses to respect him a little bit more, which in turn, helps the team generate high quality shots at the basket.

Another area that’s been crucial to Atlanta’s recent offensive success that I’d like to hit on is their corner three-point shooting frequency.

Bringing the focus back to the team’s shot profile; since January 27th, the Hawks rank first in the league in corner three frequency, and are creating these looks at a significantly higher rate than they were through the first 45 games of the season.

It’s no secret that shots at the rim and corner threes are the two highest value shots in the game, and with Atlanta becoming a greater threat to score from both areas, they have put defenses between a rock and a hard place more often, resulting in a more efficient offense.

^^^Continued from above.

The Atlanta Hawks have posted the No. 1 offensive rating in the league over the past three weeks by prioritizing ball movement, points in the paint and corner threes. Of course, Trae Young’s improved perimeter shooting has helped grease their wheels, but as a team, the biggest takeaway from the last three weeks’ has been their improvement in the three categories highlighted above.

The question the Hawks have to answer when they return from All-Star break is whether or not they can sustain this form.

Against Charlotte, they struggled to convert their shots at the rim and only took six corner-threes all game long. One would hope that a healthy center rotation will reveal that performance to be an anomaly rather than a return to their “pre-January 27th” form, but it’s honestly hard to be certain about anything regarding this Atlanta Hawks’ team.

What we do know is that ball movement, points in the paint, and corner threes are this team’s blueprint for a successful offense. Now it’s on the players to execute.

Atlanta’s first game post-All Star break is this Friday, where they’ll be taking on the Toronto Raptors at State Farm Arena.
