Atlanta also acquires Richardson, a good defensive wing who’s hitting 39.8% of his 3s this season.”Ī Hawks starting lineup of Young, Smart, Bogdan Bogdanovic, De’Andre Hunter and Clint Capela suddenly looks pretty good defensively, especially with Richardson coming off the bench,” adds the B/R writer. The Hawks have acquired the draft rights to Mouhamed Gueye (the 39 th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft), while the Celtics receive Atlanta’s 2027 second round draft pick. Smart is still an elite on-ball defender when he wants to be, and his playmaking ability would allow Young to play off-ball more and spot up from 3. The Atlanta Hawks are expected to be a busy team trending towards the trade deadline and how this season ends up unfolding will be very telling as to what the future holds for them. The 24-year-old averaged 4.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.5 from. The Hawks get Smart to put in the backcourt next to Trae Young, giving them a tandem on opposite sides of the defensive spectrum. Jarrett Culver is coming off a year where he appeared in ten regular season games for the Atlanta Hawks.
“He’s giving the Hawks 17.0 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and is in the first season of a five-year, $125 million deal. “Collins would slide into the starting power forward role between Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams III and is eighth overall in three-point shooting (42.6%) this season,” explains Swartz.
