Per DA's criteria, this list is not about how good we are now but how much we improved since the last season ended.  DA ranks us 15th and notes the positives that put us there:

Schlenk continues to play the long game, rinsing and filling his roster again to get younger and still more diverse to surround Trae Young and John Collins. This year’s haul included Hunter, who I think has major two-way potential for stardom, and Reddish, who has as much talent as anyone in this year’s draft, but whose motor came into question at the wrong time. He’ll have ample chance to bloom amongst the budding flowers in the ATL. Fernando had several first-round grades before the draft and cost next to nothing to get; Turner will replace Bazemore in the rotation and the Hawks got yet another future first, this one from Brooklyn, to add to their still-ample pile of assets. Kenny Atkinson may be long gone to the Nets, but the Hawks have Brooklyn’s team-building DNA all over them.

I love the long game like the ladies (and @kg01) loooooove the long ball ️!

Wait we have Brooklyn team building DNA 🧬 or they have ours?

Yeah, that's confusing.

Soon, very soon, our "new" Hawk team will take the floor and we, the fans, will then have the opportunity to check out our grades.
