DAR Sports: The 2023-2024 NBA Season Preview, Vol. 1
By Jeff Axel This offseason started off slow but became very eventful the week before training camp with 2 game changing trades. In this article we’ll discuss each team, the players and coaches that they’ve acquired and the win-loss prediction. Atlanta Hawks -The Hawks looked impressive when Quinn Snyder took over for Nate McMillian in February of this year. Dejounte Murray and Trae Young started to gel better and their younger players started to get put in better positions and gained confidence. A lot hinges on if Jalen Johnson, AJ Griffin and Oneya Okongwu take another step. With John Collins being in Utah now this gives Johnson an opportunity and he has intriguing versatility with his athleticism and shooting. Okongwu plays with great energy and with Capela getting older he could potentially get into the starting lineup. Bogdanovic and Saddiq Bey are quality bench players that provide great shooting and shot creation. I’m expecting another 25 PPG/10 APG type season from Trae Young.
