Command Analysis
Atlanta Hawks
USANate McMillan built a great team. In the previous season Atlanta reached the conference finals, beating New York and Philadelphia along the way. Now Hawks won't be underestimated, everyone will respect them. Trae Young is the most dangerous player in the squad, he is the leader of the team. There are also other key players in McMillan's side - John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Clint Capela and Kevin Huerter.
Hawks managed to keep their leaders with the team, so their squad will be almost the same. Hawks' fans will have great hopes for a new season. They were looking great in preseason matches, beating Memphis (91:87) and Miami (127:92).
Dallas Mavericks
USAIn the previous season Dallas have been eliminated in the first playoff round. Mavericks were beaten by the Clippers. As a result, Rick Carlisle left Texas team. He was replaced by Jason Kidd.
There are no significant changes in Dallas' squad. Club signed Frank Ntilikina and Sterling Brown. They are unlikely to be key players, but they will definitely strengthen Mavs' bench.
