@KevinOConnor Go Hawks!

[Josh Paredes @Josh810]

Victor Wembanyama has officially qualified for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, and anything short of a unanimous win should spark an investigation

[BBall Index @The_BBall_Index]

"Hawks proven to be single deepest offensive team in the NBA in new statistic"

@The_BBall_Index @SoaringDwnSouth Appreciate the shoutout! Love your team's work and love the new metric!

[Ian Kearney @IDKearney]

@LevAkabas Lev, love the graph! Can I cite your post & graph for an article I'm writing (about the Hawks recent moves adapting to this larger trend)?

[Antwane Willis Jr. 🏀 @AntwaneWillisJr]

Another key aspect of the Hawks' ability to space out defenses next season is Onyeka Okongwu - see some of his corner 3's from last year, including a pair of pin-down actions designed for an open Okongwu 3. Data obtained from https://t.co/udfzP5C8pE @shotcreatordata

Let's dive into some Kristaps Porziņģis limitless 3's from the 2024-2025 season. The Unicorn's ability to stretch the floor predicts a detailed interior attack from the Hawks next season. Data obtained from https://t.co/udfzP5C8pE @shotcreatordata
