Atlanta Hawks
I have Atlanta anywhere at the 6th, 7th or 8th spot just because of the uncertainty. Will Josh Smith be ready to be a primetime player, all-star and carry his team to the next level? Will Lou Williams be prepared to be a starter since his whole young career he’s been coming off the bench? Is Jeff Teague ready to establish himself as the point guard of the future like his draft classmates Ty Lawson and Darren Collison have shown? And last, but not least, Al Horford. Is he ready to join Josh and take his team to the next level? All these questions remain to be seen and won’t be answered until the season starts.
