What does your NBA team need? The biggest hole on all 30 rosters
Confirmed
In Short: Atlanta's biggest question is whether Jalen Johnson can elevate from All-Star to superstar.
The Atlanta Hawks are entering the second year of a team-friendly extension worth $150 million for Jalen Johnson, with the rest of the core pieces on the roster earning less than $25 million this season.
With a balanced rotation that includes ballhandling, outside shooting, and on-ball defense, the Hawks have methodically constructed a competitive team.
However, the biggest question for the Hawks remains whether Johnson can elevate his game from All-Star to superstar status.
Johnson's impressive regular-season numbers dipped during a first-round series loss to the Knicks, but he is only 24 years old.
Adding championship experience through offseason trades with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Hawks have bolstered their roster with players like Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins.
In the NBA's second apron era, where deep rosters don't stay deep forever and team identities can flip at a moment's notice, the Hawks are looking to Johnson to fill the superstar gap.
As the preseason is in full swing, the Hawks are taking stock of their roster and focusing on Johnson's potential to lead them to greater success.
With the salary cap rules preventing teams from aggregating talent, the Hawks are banking on Johnson's development to solidify their position as a contender.
