The place to read about/discuss the Atlanta Hawks.
Cameron Carr may have been one of the more talked-about players coming out of the NBA combine after dropping 30 points in the scrimmage. It felt reminiscent of his year with Baylor, as he took the program by storm, averaging a school record 18.9 points per game. The 6’5 wing showed a little bit of […]

Please give her a warm welcome as we’re excited for her to join our team at Peachtree Hoops. The comeback kids did it again. In a back-and-forth matchup that looked promising […]
Australia’s relationship with the NBA has been a passionate and long-standing one, and its own domestic league, the NBL, has an enormous following. The NBL has contributed to the NBA Draft across the decades, but ever since LaMelo Ball plied his trade as an emerging guard with the Illawarra Hawks as part of the 2020 […]

The Atlanta Dream showed resilience, star power, and championship-level composure Tuesday night, overcoming a physical challenge from the Connecticut Sun to secure a 91-75 victory at Gateway Center Arena and open Commissioner’s Cup play with a statement win. After trailing late in the third quarter and battling through a game filled with whistles, Atlanta responded […]
A successful start to the season The Atlanta Dream boast a 5-2 record and are tied for second place in the WNBA standings with the second-year Golden State Valkyries. Only the Minnesota Lynx have a better record with one more game played, at 6-2, with one of Minnesota’s losses coming to Atlanta in the season […]
From an international prospect perspective, no NBA Draft is ever complete without a prospect from the ever-colourful Mega Basket in Serbia. Mega Basket has run under many guises in the past due to sponsorship reasons; Mega Leks, Mega Bemax, Mega Soccertbet, Mega Mozzart, Mega MIS, and now Mega Superbet. Regardless of the ever-changing name, there […]
Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese continued her impressive start to the 2026 WNBA season on Friday night, recording her fourth double-double in seven games to lead Atlanta to an emphatic 86-66 road victory over the Portland Fire. Reese finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists while shooting 6-of-14 from the field. The second-year […]
There are always several players in the NBA Draft who just know how to play the game at a high level. They make the right plays, are always in the right spots, and are efficient in almost everything they do. This year, one of those players is Bennett Stirtz out of Iowa. Stirtz has an […]
Caleb Wilson was the obvious star at North Carolina this past season, but the offense may not have flowed well without Henri Veesaar as well. The 7’0 center is your typical stretch big, but offers more than just his shooting on the perimeter. In Hubert Davis’ offense, Veesaar showed his ability to operate out of […]
Atlanta’s front office of late has brought a level of present success and future potential the fans haven’t seen since the end of the 2020-21 season. The Hawks finished the season 46-36, gave the Knicks their toughest test of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and own the eighth, 23rd, 57th overall picks in the upcoming draft. […]
As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches and the Hawks look to inject athleticism, length and rim protection into a frontcourt still searching for its identity post-rebuild, Jayden Quaintance has climbed boards as one of the most intriguing defensive anchors available. The Kentucky sophomore (by way of Arizona State) dealt with a torn ACL and meniscus […]
The Atlanta Dream continued their strong start to the 2026 WNBA season with a hard-fought 82-80 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday night, surviving a late comeback attempt at Gateway Center Arena. Atlanta improved to 4-1 on the season behind another balanced offensive performance led by Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray. Howard finished with […]
It is one thing for young prospects to see significant game time on a Euroleague team, and we’ve looked at a few already (even if they will not be selected in this year’s draft). However, it’s another thing to have a significant role as a young player on a successful Euroleague team. With respect to […]
Alabama had one of the most NBA-centric offenses in college basketball, and it’s all thanks to Nate Oats and how he schemes up his players for success. One of the players that benefited from that is Amari Allen, who could be considered a Swiss army knife for what he brings on the floor, but doesn’t […]
There are several commodities that NBA teams value. Shooting, obviously, is a premium, but you have to be able to not be porous on defense too. Players such as Steve Novak and Luke Babbitt were great three-point shooters, but were consistently played off the floor, and their NBA careers — despite their shooting — didn’t […]
The Atlanta Dream sit at 2-1 after three games to open the 2026 WNBA season. How has the team responded to early injuries and two new additions in the frontcourt? Atlanta’s bench contributes in comeback attempt In their first two games, the Atlanta Dream heavily leaned on their starting five players. Michael Waterloo spoke to […]
The Atlanta Dream looked on the verge of completing one of their most impressive comebacks of the young season Sunday before Chelsea Gray delivered a heartbreaking final blow for the Las Vegas Aces. Down by as many as 19 points against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, the Dream fought all the way back and […]
It is that time of the year again. The NBA Draft is still a few weeks away, giving plenty of opportunity for draft stocks to rise and fall, even long after prospects have finished their respective seasons. The draft stock of some prospects do not require a lot of marketing, while others have to work […]

Please give him a warm welcome as we’re excited for him to join our team at Peachtree Hoops. As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches and the Hawks look to inject youth and […]
We are fully in draft season now. With a lauded class of athletes entering the draft this cycle — barring some unexpected withdrawals — there will surely be differing opinions for the Hawks at number eight overall. Let’s do a quick check-in on who different media members project the Hawks to take, pre-combine edition: Jeremy […]
The Atlanta Dream continued their strong start to the season Tuesday night, overcoming a sluggish first half to defeat the Dallas Wings 77-72 and spoil Dallas’ home opener. Atlanta improved to 2-0 on the young season thanks to another dominant performance from Allisha Gray, who finished with a game-high 26 points while knocking down four […]
Angel Reese made an immediate impact in her debut with the Atlanta Dream, recording a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds to help Atlanta complete a dramatic 91-90 comeback victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday night at Target Center in Minneapolis. The Dream appeared headed for a difficult start to the season after […]
Chris Cenac Jr. is one of the more intriguing big men in the 2026 NBA Draft, and it’s the potential that he has shown on both sides of the ball that makes him someone teams could keep their eyes on. At 6-11, the Houston center has the size to be a solid big in the […]
The Hawks came into Sunday afternoon with a slightly greater than 40% chance at turning their Pelicans-Bucks superpick into gold. Unfortunately, they didn’t strike it rich. The ping pong balls bounced the other way this time. No. 8 happened to be the most likely landing spot with around a 30% shot at ending there. Atlanta’s […]
