Philly Frills – 22/07/2025 The 76ers have completed yet another draft day in which they featured heavily! This year, they actually had their own 1st round pick to their name, which was pick 21, and the bevvy...
Jalen Green has had kind of a jump this season, we saw him perform last year towards the end of the season, but it's good to see the play in a longer form. In 2k since last season he's been useful, his availability is...
Philly Frills – 04/02/2025 Sometimes in this league there are good times and there are bad times. Ups and downs, back and forths. For the 76ers this year it's been a litany of injuries like a rotating door as...
The season has finally concluded for the Hawks, finishing a dismal 15-67. Now it is time to look forward to the moment that has been anticipated since the beginning of the season. The Hawks have invested heavily in th...

The 3 Year Journey Three years ago, and what now seems like a lifetime, GM Justin stepped into the reigns at the helm of the Lakers organization. At the time, there was grandiose word speak of dreams that no one...
Months since first publicly stating that Damian Lillard would be traded, the time has finally arrived. Out goes Damian Lillard, in comes a swathe of the young assets that the Hawks were looking for. In return, the Haw...
NSL Draft 2023 It’s a new era in Detroit. The 5th NSL season will start with a new face Detroit Pistons. After a pre accorded deal Detroit just landed Jalen Green, Devin Vassell and Nick Richards, Detroit drafted 4...
After all the anticipation, with the 2nd highest total chances at the #1 overall pick, Sunday came and went; the aftermath has been tough to stomach for the Hawks FO, as their prized pick from the Jalen green trade st...
Checking in on the Lakers hasn’t been a prideful task in the last few seasons. The team has been at the bottom, or near the bottom of the standings at the finish each of the last 3 seasons, this one included.&...
With the season in the final 15-ish games, the Hawks FO only move before the deadline ended up being the Jalen Green trade. This offseason, we will likely find out how the tone of that trade is going to work out, as t...
True to his word, GM Bulldog did indeed initiate a radical restructuring of the franchise a few days ago, trading away Jalen Green and a pick protection reduction for 4 1st round picks and Lonnie Walker. While things...
It's been about a week and a half since Bulldog has taken over stewardship of the Hawks, and things have not been the smoothest so far, with a lineup that seemed to be derelict and time running out to fix it. The GM r...
Roof: Vince Carter Ceiling: Zach Lavine Floor: Malik Monk Jalen is still my favourite prospect in this class and i'm going to stick to my guns and say he's the best player 5 years from now of this class. He still lack...
Has Green matched his hype? I'd say not necessarily just yet but he's been good none the less. 11/3/3 is a good start to a career and he probably needs a better NBA situation before he can really turn into what everyo...
Will the Hawks actually ever miss on the elite 3nD wings they keep snagging every single draft? 13.1/3.1/3.3 shooting 43/33/90 splits is great numbers for a raw as rookie coming into a team that's needing someone to t...
Here at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, we wanted to spotlight a few of our favorite Hawks players now that the season has officially wrapped with the Portland Trailblazers taking home the hardware again. This...

As we near the end of the regular season for the NSL and the Hawks, it’s time to take stock of our draft capital and see how we’re looking going into the play-in tournament. The Hawks have their pick and sit at #5...
Green is the first major corner stone for the rebuild in Atlanta. The kid is a stud and he's coming along quite fast in the NBA in the past 4-6 weeks. Jalen is going to be a 2k darling with all the athleti...
The guy with so much athleticism its almost unfair, sometimes it actually looks like he can fly. Using less minutes to put up the same stats but more efficiently is a great coaching move from Banderson. Greens play se...
Because the second Jalen on this list was the rookie version of scorching in week 12! 11 points, 44% FG and 66% from three on pretty decent attempts. GM Ben certainly has to be excited about this kind of output. The o...
Jalen has been pretty average at scoring. He doesn't do anything else either. And the boxscore +/- is -17.8. He had some decent games against the Phoenix Suns and the Detroit Pistons scoring 14 PTS and 15 PTS.
It's continued to be a rough season down in Atlanta. The GM was brimming with optimism, telling everyone who would listen that this team was ready. They were going to make some noise at the bottom of the playoff rungs...
Like most teams, the Atlanta Hawks have had discussions with various teams throughout the start of the season. They've always been in the "patient and rebuilding" mode but it appears the team is coming to a fork in th...
Jalen Green had a week! He averaged 19 ppg on 65% shooting and 56% from the 3-pt line. He's on one of the bottom teams in the east, but we aren't worried about records that much for these rookies. He...

Before the draft, the Hawks had 6 1st round picks available to work with. In the days leading up to the draft, the team had done some wheeling and dealing that brought them some veteran players to help balance o...
The Hawks laid pretty quiet this last year. They laid the groundwork for a hopefully quick rebuild last year by trading out some talented players for some draft picks in what appears to be a very deep draft. Currently...
As the regular is coming to a close, the Hawks find themselves with the 4th best odds (2nd best I suppose given the new draft lottery odds) for #1. The top 5 of this draft seems like a good spot to land. It's early bu...
