Some things gleaned from open scrimmage
Here is an abbreviated version of my story from the Hawks open scrimmage to give you an idea of some of the takeaways. * The Hawks are going to run and spread the floor. Coach Mike Budenholzer has preached movement, both ball and people, during camp. “There was some sloppiness ...
Training camp report - UGA trip successful
The Hawks finished their three-day, five-practice stay at the University of Georgia Thursday. Coach Mike Budenholzer was pleased with the decision to start training camp on the road.

Media day quotes
“At the end of the day there were some great situations and it was a tough decision, but we wanted to be in Atlanta and we wanted to help build what Danny started to build last year. If I were to build a team, I would try to do it the same way. To be a part of that, it makes basketball bigger than just going out there and playing.” - Kyle Korver on decision to re-sign with Hawks
Training camp report - Korver, Carroll with first unit

Q and A with Al Horford
I sat down with Al Horford for a wide-ranging interview today. I will use some of our discussion in a couple of upcoming stories. However, I thought I would share the entire interview because he had some interesting things to say about such things as the new roster, his own ...
James Johnson gets training camp invite

Cunningham had run at White House
Jared Cunningham had a run at the White House. Three of them in fact. That's run as in a game of basketball. The Hawks guard played three seasons at Oregon State, where he was all Pac-12 first-team in 2012. He played under head coach Craig Robinson - better know as ...
