- Dyson is indeed a menace in passing lanes and in isolation, but his screen navigation is noticeably terrible.
He's too big and strong to slide through. - Trae is great at screen navigation but useless in isolation defense.
- There is a decent chance Hawks should have traded with SAS in the 2024 draft and just taken Steph Castle. His defense very early on is legitimately very encouraging.
- Ayo Dosunmu should be a trade target if the opportunity arises.
- Cason Wallace is a defensive menace. Missing out on him in that draft class still hurts.
- Caris Levert was a really effective defender and scorer. Losing him is a real hit.
