All-Star guard Dejounte Murray has high expectations with Atlanta this season. Over the four seasons that Trae Young has been in the NBA, only three teams — the Portland Trail Blazers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards — have been worse defensively than Young's Atlanta Hawks, who ranked 26th on defense last season. Young, of course, has led the Hawks to top-10 finishes on offenses in each of the last two seasons. In fact, only Utah's offense was more efficient than Atlanta's last season.
