Hawks’ Defense & Depth Could Be Key | Atlanta Hawks News

The Atlanta Hawks are poised for a breakout season, building on last year’s playoff run without the play-in with a revamped roster and elite defensive potential. After adding key pieces like Aaron Wiggins, Lu Dort, and drafting young talents such as Kingston Flemings and Zuby Ejiofor, they’ve kept core stars CJ McCollum and Jock Landale. Their starting five—McCollum, Alexander-Walker, Daniels, Johnson, and Okongwu—showed explosive chemistry, hinting at a top-tier unit. With Landale anchoring the bench alongside Dort and Wiggins, depth is stronger than ever. Defense remains their biggest strength, bolstered by Dort’s toughness and perimeter defenders Daniels and Alexander-Walker. While rim protection needs work, the Hawks have assembled one of their most formidable defenses in years—and are ready to make a deep postseason run.
