Nate McMillan built a great team. In the previous season Atlanta reached the conference finals, beating New York and Philadelphia along the way. Now Hawks won't be underestimated, everyone will respect them. Trae Young is the most dangerous player in the squad, he is the leader of the team. There are also other key players in McMillan's side - John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Clint Capela and Kevin Huerter.
