With so much in the news about the Hawks shopping for a big man, it begs the question of what they intend to do with John Collins.
At week start the word is Collins isn’t being protected. Couple that with news Trae Young was unhappy and emotional in the locker room following another loss.
The elephant in the room is the win that ended the 10 game losing streak came without Young on the floor. While Young complains about the team losing how many of his teammates are looking sideways at his defensive shortcomings?
The youngster possesses amazing offensive ability but the reality is even once this club improves and eventually reaches the postseason he’ll be the player opponents target when on the offensive end and that fact is just as clear as the Hawks need to add more depth around the All-Star.
