Ranking Atlanta Hawks Players Off-Season Activities
We’re three weeks into our summer time energy rankings, and as soon as once more, we’ve vital shakeups. Some guys opted for events in Atlanta, whereas others went for low-key hangouts in Los Angeles. Let’s not waste any extra time and dive into the rankings.
10. Gorgui Dieng
Our veteran, Gorgui Dieng, makes his triumphant return to the ability rankings this week. The veteran middle posted a video for a brand new software that appears dope. If you’ll be able to translate what’s being mentioned within the video, holler at me, and I am going to observe again up with everybody else.
9. Dominique Wilkins & Bob Rathbun
The 2 GOAT tv broadcasters reunite for USBA Hoops.
By no means, I repeat by no means, in our two-week historical past of summer time energy rankings have there been tv announcers within the high ten. That speaks to the extent of star energy that Dominique Wilkins and Bob Rathbun convey to the desk. Like Jordan and Pippen or Shaq and Kobe, some pairings are simply unfair. It is nice to see these two again collectively, and it makes me miss Hawks basketball much more.
8. Onyeka Okongwu

Extra progress from Onyeka Okongwu on this week’s rankings. ‘Double-O’ bought a brand new whip final week, and now he is supporting his outdated AAU workforce. Okongwu displaying like to the Compton Magic earns him the eighth spot this week.
7. Kevin Huerter

For the primary time this summer time, Kevin Huerter claims a top-ten spot. Huerter has spent most of his time on the golf course, which does not actually transfer the needle for me. However it was a comparatively sluggish week and his super-late photograph dump appeared hilariously on-brand for ‘Crimson Velvet.’
6. Sharife Cooper

I am beginning to imagine Sharife Cooper’s vibes aren’t any joke. The rising sophomore has elevated from ninth to seventh and now sixth this week. Because of Cooper’s basketball camp, and exercise hype movies, he continues to rise within the rankings. See Cooper posterize a camper within the video beneath.
5. Clint Capela

Sadly, Clint Capela took a slight slide on this week’s energy rankings. We knew he needed to come again all the way down to earth ultimately. Nobody man can sustain the lavish life-style he was residing whereas on trip in Europe. However it’s nice to see Capela again within the lab and dealing on getting higher. An extended low season will definitely profit him subsequent season.
4. Danilo Gallinari

Out of all of the Hawks’ function gamers, Danilo Gallinari might be essentially the most entertaining to observe on social media. Largely as a result of he posts each single day. The 33-year-old has been on a tear this low season and didn’t decelerate this week. I do not know what the long run holds for Gallinari’s time with the Hawks, however let’s sit again and respect greatness.
3. Bogdan Bogdanovic
Bogdan Bogdanovic frolicked with an Boban Marjanovic this week.
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports activities
Extra development from Bogdan Bogdanovic this week. In case you wanted extra proof that Bogdanovic is a good buddy, now you’ve gotten it. ‘Bogi’ stays in Los Angeles, the place he is been hanging out with Dallas Mavericks middle Boban Marjanovic. The 2 Serbian-born NBA gamers watched hoops collectively earlier than attending a screening of Adam Sandler’s new film that options Trae Younger.
2. Lou Williams
Lou Williams hosted a star-studded celebration in Atlanta.
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports activities
We knew this was going to be a giant week for Lou Williams. ‘The Underground Goat’ hosted certainly one of his legendary events final Sunday, and apparently, it didn’t disappoint. Additionally, allow us to not overlook Williams’ temporary cameo in ESPN’s 30 for 30 about streetball.
1. Trae Younger
Trae Younger welcomed his son into the world.
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports activities
Bagawd, that is Trae Younger’s music! This was meant to be Lou Williams’ week to high the summer time energy rankings, however ‘Ice Trae’ holds on to the primary spot for the second straight week.
Younger was within the zone this week. He appeared within the new Name of Obligation online game teaser and, extra importantly, introduced the delivery of his first little one (third if you happen to rely the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers). Identify one other participant within the NBA who had a greater week (apart from perhaps LeBron James turning into a billionaire).
Unranked: John Collins, Jalen Johnson, De’Andre Hunter, Delon Wright, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, and Skylar Mays. We will probably be again subsequent Sunday with up to date energy rankings. Till then, take it simple and keep locked into AllHawks.com.

ATLANTA – U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Thursday announced new sanctions against a Mexican drug cartel that smuggles fentanyl and other synthetic opioids into the United States.
Yellen’s announcement during a news conference in Atlanta coincided with the arrests of eight leaders of the cartel La Nueva Familia Michocana on 13 indictments.
More than 1 million Americans have died of drug overdoses since 2000, while fatal overdoses of fentanyl among Georgians rose by 200% between 2019 and 2021, Yellen said.
“Far too many families in communities across the United States are losing their loved ones to opioids,” she said. “That’s why President Biden has directed the entire U.S. government to use every tool at our disposal to combat the opioid epidemic.”
“Illicit drugs imported into the United States are killing our citizens at an unprecedented rate,” added Ryan Buchanan, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Yellen said the sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Assets Control are aimed at denying cartels the funds they need to carry out their illegal activities.
“Cartels that peddle fentanyl operate in many respects like other businesses,” she said. “They rely on access to banking systems … to make payroll and finance purchases.”
Yellen said the federal government needs help from the private sector to make the sanctions work. Toward that end, the Treasury Department also issued an advisory Thursday to help financial institutions detect and report flows of money fueling the fentanyl supply chain.
“One of the most powerful things we can do is deny (cartels) the fruits of their labor, the very essence of what these cartels need – their money,” said Robert Murphy, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta office. “We don’t want them to use that money to make them stronger and have a bigger impact in the United States.”
Yellen said La Nueva Familia Michocana not only ships fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamines into the U.S. but also smuggles illegal immigrants across the southern border and engages in arms trafficking.
Yellen said Chinese officials have agreed to cooperate with the American effort to combat fentanyl, and she is reaching out to Claudia Sheinbaum, recently elected president of Mexico, to work with the U.S. on choking off the flow of dangerous drugs across the border.
