remember when the falcons used the No. 8 overall pick and a 9-figure contract on two different quarterbacks in the same offseason and still didn't have a quarterback two years later?

Answering a couple Q's here... - Technically, the Hawks are now full on Two-Ways because Keshon Gilbert and RayJ Dennis remain under contract - Two-Way contracts are often (quite) fluid so I definitely wouldn't just assume it'll be these 3 when the season opens

Source confirms the Hawks are signing Jalen Wilson to a Two-Way contract. @mikeascotto.bsky.social had it first. Wilson is a 25-year-old combo forward out of Kansas with a ton of NBA experience (176 games with Brooklyn) by Two-Way standards.

The Hawks had a 118.4 offensive rating (73rd percentile) with Dyson Daniels on the floor last season in more than 5,000 possessions. The Hawks had a 112.3 offensive rating (29th percentile) with Dyson Daniels off the floor in almost 3,000 possessions. (this discrepancy was not a coincidence)

Per source, here are the official pick details for what the Hawks sent out in the Dort/Risacher trade: - Top-55 protected 2027 to Dallas - 2031 most favorable of ATL/HOU to OKC - 2032 most favorable of ATL/LAL to OKC (So 2 real second round picks and 1 very fake one.)

it does not ACTUALLY matter in the grand scheme but... there must be an unwritten rule somewhere that anytime someone releases a "hawks depth chart," it is almost required to be nonsensical
