When the Hawks drafted De’Andre Hunter fourth overall last season, the thinking was that — due to being an older prospect — he would be a plug and play 3-and-D player. He is a rookie, so this is not a knock on Hunter, but out of the gate, it’s been rocky. The 2019 ACC Defensive Player
This will come as no shock, but Thomas Dimitroff has made it official: Austin Hooper and De’Vondre Campbell will hit free agency, receiving the opportunity to gauge their market: #Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff says Austin Hooper and De’Vondre Campbell will hit the free agency market pic.twitter.com/n1B0XdILcS — Kelsey Conway (@FalconsKelsey) February 25, 2020 This does
Anfernee Jennings may not be the answer by himself to a years-long pass rushing problem for the Atlanta Falcons, but he would be a start and brings a lot more to the table than just pass rushing. If Jennings could have stayed healthy at Alabama throughout his college career, we would likely be talking about
After playing like a guy on his last limb in the postseason, it became clear that Freddie Freeman’s elbow was a legitimate concern. There is a good chance he should not have been playing at all, and Jeff Schultz even did a piece yesterday talking about the lengths he had to go through just to
Even without Ben Simmons in the starting lineup, the Hawks had a tall task against one of the elite home teams in the NBA on Monday. The Sixers were 26-2 at the Wells Fargo Center going into yesterday’s contest and, regardless of the absence of their primary ball facilitator, left little question as to why
It was reported yesterday that Mike Soroka had aggravated his groin, and his first start would be pushed back a bit to begin Spring Training. On Sunday’s broadcast against the Tigers, Brian Snitker went as far as to say he does not even consider it a setback, and that the team still expects Soroka to
The injury bug has hit the Braves early this season, and hopefully, the team can get it out of the way early. Atlanta is already without Cole Hamels to start the season, and now another starting pitcher is dealing with an injury: Folty will start Tuesday against the Twins. Soroka will get his first start
The Austin Hooper saga continues to drag on. There has been a ton of speculation that Hoop is expected to reset the free agency market at the tight end position this offseason. To our knowledge, the Falcons are yet to make an offer and may look to use their limited cap space to fill various
The Braves have not invested a first-round pick in a catcher since the ’80s, so it is needless to say the organization has high hopes for 2019 ninth overall pick Shea Langeliers out of Baylor University. And in what was likely most Braves’ fans first glimpse of him, he did not disappoint. Langeliers did not
The Mavs have been doing a lot of load managing this year, but the Hawks learned their lesson underestimating their B-team last time the two matched up just a few weeks ago. With Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis out on Saturday, they decided it was time to steal one right back. The Hawks trailed for
