As long as Trae Young is there, the Hawks are stuck being a happy to make the playoffs team.
And yes..I am thrilled Quin is there…but Young is not the answer
After wiping the coaching slate clean, Quin Snyder has taken his first step in rebuilding his he Hawks bench by hiring Antonio Lang as an assistant. They previously spent five seasons together coaching the Jazz.
As a Hawks and Duke fan, I continue to be very excited about the current wave of leadership decisions.

Young is allergic to defense. Dude puts in zero effort. His indifference is embarrassing
538’s RAPTOR ratings have him at -0.9 RAPTOR WAR on defense . . . a little better than Steph Curry for this past year. He’s not a net positive on defense, but he’s not absolutely useless, either. I’m really excited to see if Quin and company can unlock a new level for him.
