Hawks’ Nickeil Alexander-Walker is finalist for Most Improved Player

The Hawks made a push in the second half of the season and earned the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They changed their trajectory this season by trading Trae Young, and with some additional moves.

Jalen Johnson, who earned his first All-Star selection, is just one of the key pieces who can help turn things around. The Hawks have a revamped roster and a new outlook heading into a critical offseason, which could include a top-five draft pick.
