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

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 ‘Double-O’ bought a brand new whip final week, and now he is supporting his outdated AAU workforce.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

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

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

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.
