This week in Hawks talk
The shows spent the week breaking down the Hawks' opening night win over Orlando and what it says about Atlanta's season outlook. There's been a lot of talk about Nickeil Alexander-Walker's strong start and the team's wing depth and defense, though some hosts questioned whether Jalen Johnson can be a true go-to scorer and if the roster has enough duplicative talent for a bigger leap. The consensus seems to be the Hawks are a legitimate play-in team in the East with some surprising upside.
