Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not giving that windbag clicks. Sorry.

Based on was learned via the Colonel's Zoom presser, here's one fan's guess at minutes distribution by position. The numbers are RAPTOR offense score, then defense score, then total minutes played last season.

This is a REALLY poorly written article...but here you go!!

Can Young and Hawks copy the success of Doncic and Mavericks?



The Atlanta Hawks made different moves than usual on the NBA transaction market this year. After these deals, Atlanta now can send quite a sharp offensive starting-lineup to the floor. They have Trae Young, one of the most modern playmakers in today's NBA...Bogdanovic, Gallinari, John Collins together sunk 7.1 threes per game on average last season and their 3-point rates were 37.2, 40.5 and 40.1 percent respectively. Meanwhile, Bogdanovic and Gallinari could also share the burden of orchestrating and clutch-time scoring with Young.

When Capela is on the court with the above four, he can maximize the power of his finishing ability in the almost deserted paint. With his size, quickness and teammates' passing ability, Capela could continue to drop 15+10 at a 60+percent field-goal rate like he did in the past three seasons.

Unfortunately, this may also be one of the worst defensive squads of all the teams competing for playoff qualification. By contrast, Atlanta's bench unit seems to have what it takes to make elite defenders. Dunn can be trusted taking on most of the guards in the league; Cam Reddish, DeAndre Hunter and this year's Onyeka Okongwu are all top 10 selections in the draft and every of them is capable of switching among 2 to 4, even 5. Especially 19-year-old Okongwu can follow small perimeter players and tussle with big man under the rim. these young men share one problem in common: lack of individual offense.

Watched some film on our new Bogey Man. Seems that he can score from anywhere.
Hawks defense won't be as bad as some think. New center, Capela, changes that!
He will mentor Bruno and our #6 draft pick.

This strikes me as funny... our new 2-ways are older than half the team, and Goodwin as well.

Come to think of it, Goodwin is closer in age to Capela (!) than he is to even the next youngest on the roster.

Hold up. Collins 85 and Bogi 62? Whoa. Ok either something is wrong in their rankings or I need to watch more Bogi. Trae better be in the top 50, heck top 20 to me. Capela should be around 44-49.

This thing has be a ton more excited about Bogi than initially and even after initially. I’m in phase 3 of the Bogi investigation. Ton more layers to uncover but this guy plays hard, fights and scraps, I know I like that.

So, just spitballing here... we know Dunn won't be available for the first few games of the regular season... and right now, we still haven't seen Rondo... so... wouldn't it be just like Travis Schlenk to be keeping Goodwin mainly because he has intel that neither of those two are going to be reliable options at first. In fact, it might especially explain that we got Dunn at a price that most thought especially team-friendly.
