With the past two #1 draft picks hailing from France (Zaccharie Risacher & superstar in the making Vicor Wembanyama), eyes will also be on two of the league's best point guards, Chris Paul and Trae Young in addition to how Atlanta responds after a deep run in the 2nd Annual In-Season Tournament.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste address the Hawks' energy (or lack thereof) in addition to a slight drop off in their defensive prowess, your personal preference of the various versions of Trae Young, awarding Young for his success en route to being named to the All-Cup Team and likelihood of Young and Jalen Johnson being named to the "new-look" All-Star Game.
