Although the NBA off-season is not finished, it seems likely that the Atlanta Hawks are going to stand pat with what they have. As things currently stand, the Hawks have seven new players on their roster: Larry Nance Jr, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Dominick Barlow, David Roddy, Cody Zeller and Keaton Wallace.
Wallace is on a two-way contract, so projecting anything more than a 2023-24 Vit Krejci level of impact would be difficult at this stage. That's not to say that Krejci was not impactful for the Hawks, but I do think the Hawks brought in players who project to have a bigger role in 2024-25. To be clear, he showed a lot of nice things in his Summer League stint with Atlanta.
With that established, here are the three newcomers who I believe will make the biggest impact for the Hawks in 2024-25.I couldn't decide between Nance or Barlow for this spot because I'm very high on what Barlow brings, but I respect the veteran contributions that Nance brings. He's a good passer with a high basketball IQ. He can also reliably hit open threes, which is an interesting fit with Young as the main ball-handler.
