Atlanta has a bunch of interesting players but the overall result is bad for a second season in a row, even after adding the perfect partner for Young in Murray. What could they even do to construct better around him other than bringing in 4 all star players? Perhaps Collins is not the best fit, but other than that you really can't do much better. Looking at starters, they have a good defensive center, they have a good two way wing in Hunter, they have a star two way guard. None of the starters was shooting well, but not sure if this is what is killing them. Bench is perhaps a bit weak, but not bad either. One more season, and management realises Young is the problem, imho, because you just can't build a credible defense with him on the roster.
Atlanta has a really interesting offseason ahead of them. Do they finally bite the bullet on Johns Collins and move him? They have several young players who should start getting more playing time, but they are blocked. Deandre Hunter is starting a 4 year contract for a 100 million. That is Jalen Brunson money! Saddiq Bey will be looking for a contract extension. And they have two mid firsts in Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin who they need to give some time to.
