Grade: A
Evaluation: It feels right to start the grading process with an A. The Atlanta Hawks are not a team that can lure big free agents to come to play for them, which means that they must do everything in their power to keep Trae Young happy. And they did just that. Signing veteran pieces like Rondo and Gallinari will provide the Hawks with leadership and stability in the guard and forward positions. Dunn and Mays provide backup depth, and Dunn can be a great defender to pair with Young (who really needs help in that end). The biggest steal in free agency, however, was Bogdanovic. A player who is about to enter his physical peak with great playmaking and scoring abilities who fits perfectly with Young: great move Hawks! Bogdanovic checks off a lot of boxes for this young team and will play the perfect second fiddle to Young for the next four years. The only thing that kept the Hawks from getting an A+ was the selection of Okongwu. With a crowded rotation consisting of solid players like John Collins, Clint Capela and newly acquired Danilo Gallinari, Okongwu feels like a very redundant choice. But strictly by the philosophy of going with the best player available, the Hawks made a good choice and rumors are that Collins may not be in Atlanta in the near future.
