So You Want to Know the Hawks? A Guide to Atlanta's Finest Feathered Friends (and the Rest of the Flock)
Ever feel like understanding the Atlanta Hawks roster is a bit like your grandpa explaining his tackle box? A jumble of names, positions that sound vaguely made-up ("power forward" we're looking at you), and the nagging suspicion there might be a rogue worm in there somewhere.
Well, fret no more! Buckle up and get ready to become an honorary Hawks expert (or at least impress your friends at trivia night).

| What Players Are On The Atlanta Hawks |
The Core Four: Our Feathered MVPs
- Trae Young: Picture this - lights-out shooting, handles that would make a snake jealous, and a passing game that could thread a needle in a hurricane. This is Trae Young, the Hawks' point guard and walking highlight reel.
- Clint Capela: The rim protector, the rebound king, the man who makes opposing teams take a hard left at the paint. Clint Capela is our defensive anchor, and his presence makes the highlight reel all the more possible for Trae.
- John Collins: This high-flying forward can dunk on you, shoot from three with a silky smooth stroke, and battle for rebounds like a man possessed. John Collins is the ultimate hustle player, and brings tons of energy to the court.
- De'Andre Hunter: Defense? Check. Three-point shooting? Check. Looking like he could maybe win a staring contest with a laser? Absolutely. De'Andre Hunter is the silent but deadly wingman, shutting down opponents and knocking down shots with a quiet intensity.
These four are the heart and soul of the Hawks, a unit that's exciting to watch and, let's be honest, pretty darn good.
The Supporting Cast: A Murder of Benchwarmers...or are They?
Don't underestimate the depth on this team! We've got sharpshooters like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari who can light it up from deep. We have young guns like Onyeka Okongwu and Sharife Cooper who are ready to make their mark. And let's not forget our resident big men, Bruno Fernando and Kevin Knox, who provide muscle down low.

How to Spot a Hawks Fan in the Wild:

- Their house has an inexplicable shrine dedicated to Trae Young's floater game.
- Their ringtone is the Hawks' screech. (We don't judge...much.)
