[Phunkabilly]

[ShooterSays]

Wins - 45
Starting C/PF - OO & JJ
Team 3P% - 36.5%
Defensive Rating - 18th
3P% Leader - Bogi

[bird_dirt]

1. 47-36

2. OO-JJ

3. 35.7%

4. 19th

5. Do they need to have played a min of 65 games? If so, then I’ll say OO. If not, I’ll say Bogi. 

6. End up 5th in the East, knocked out in second round by #1 seed Cs. 

[NBASupes]

1. 61-21, best in the NBA

2. Barring trade, CC and Bey

3. Team 3P% not sure, doesn’t matter honestly. It's all about the quality of threes that matter. A good quality look generally gives you a great chance at offensive rebounds which are where the damage is really done in the modern NBA. What you don't want is the Lakers or last year Hawks where everything is crowded and limited 2nd chance opportunities. 

4. Team Defensive Rating - I expect them to be good at times and decent at others, 114 range. 

5. Team leader in 3P% (Minimum 50 FGM) Bogi, Hunter, Okongwu, or Bey. They will get the most wide open looks. Not expecting JJ ability reasons or Murray/Trae difficult of threes to be the guys.

For team leader in 3P% I said a minimum of 50 made 3's.

I know. I’m just saying if you need to play 65 games for an award, then maybe that’s a potential benchmark here too. I gave an answer for either case.

Who is on your list of trade targets?

KAT, Ayton, or is Robert Williams a possibility?

Needed to be a more spicy prediction in the mix.  Instead of best 3P% I should have said name any or all the Hawks you expect to be traded by the deadline.
