Atlanta Hawks Top 5 team in the East? | ft. Hawks announcer Bob Rathbun
Hello, hello, hello out there, man. Y’all, y’all know who it is, man. It’s your boy A1 Forever Smitty Sports Machine. Yes, sir. Uh we gonna give y’all I’ll give y’all a little uh good feature today, man. Uh quick uh a lot of Hawks basketball. Talk of Hawks basketball. Been a great offseason for the Hawks in my opinion. I feel like uh they’ve did a lot to um make this team better. We’d like to welcome our good friend Bob Wrathborn in to talk some Hawks basketball with us and give y’all a little bit of his thoughts on how the Hawks offseason is going so far. Bob, if you would like to introduce yourself, do so. My pleasure. Always good to join you gents. And I am Bob Wrathman, the TV voice of the Atlanta Hawks. And I cannot wait to get this new season going. I’m talking about it. Absolutely. Um Bob is looking all healthy, looking like he’s ready for basketball, looking like he probably going to hit some basketball this summer. You know, man, I I enjoy what what I’m seeing, man. And just, you know, going into this season, Bob, like you’re entering, I believe, like your 29th season as the the Hawks 30th. See what I’m saying? See, I’m behind. Let me catch up. Let me catch up. Yes. Your 30th season as the voice of the Hawks play by play. I I got you know what I gotta ask you a question. I’m not sure if anyone’s ever asked you this before, but from dating back from day one all the way to now, how has calling these these Hawks games like evolved from you from the different stations and networks, different personnels and people that you’ve met? Like how has has it evolved for you? Well, it has been um so much fun. That’s number one. Uh I’ve been blessed to be with uh great friends and great partners. Uh I started with the Stinger, Mike Glenn, and he, you know, all these guys that have sat next to me have turned out to be lifelong buddies, you know, whether it’s uh Stinger or Smitty, uh Steve Smith who did the games with us, Grant Long, and of course Nick’s been by my side. This is our 16th year together uh with the Hall of Famer. So that really makes it fun to come to work, you know. Uh this really isn’t work. I mean, when you’re doing something you love like this and you’re in the game, but um I think the one thing that I’ve enjoyed the most um has been the interaction with the Hawks fans. Uh this fan base is as knowledgeable and as passionate as any in the NBA. Uh it takes a lot to be a Hawks fan because we’ve broken our fans hearts so often, but they keep coming back. all they want to do is see see this team win and I think this year we’re going to give them a team they will be very proud of. And speaking of evolving, um the Hawks uh made a front office move, one that I actually love and it’s, you know, evolving as we speak. Um how good of a job do you think uh Anie has done so far? Well, I kided Steve after he made all the trades at the end of June and I it was the last day I think of June when he made the deals and I I sent an email to Steve Kunan, our CEO, and I said, “Is it too late to nominate ANIE for employee of the month for June?” Uh, he has done he has done a whale of a job. Um, you know, we’re just many of us are just getting to know Anie. He’s only been with us, you know, three years, two and a half. And um he’s really sharp, very, very smart. He’s as personable, and I think the fans will really get to know him and enjoy him. Um he’s really down to earth. Uh he’s got a great plan. He’s working the plan. I think the union of Anie and Quinn is going great and will continue to be great. Uh, everybody is, you know, rowing in the same direction. I think I think the front office is in good a shape as it’s been in years. And that’s no knock at anybody else. I just think it’s a a wonderful partnership with Auntie and Quinn. Absolutely. And of course, you know, adding more depth in into the off season as well in the front office, bringing guys over that has veteran experience in this NBA as well as, you know, Anzie himself saying that he went to law school. I’m feeling I feel like that, you know, plays a part in him knowing how to work that that salary cap. He’s been tinkering it and like he the man knows what he doing and you can tell because we have a revamped roster. Our bench is revamped. And I want to know, Bob, how do you assess the depth and the chemistry of this Hawk squad moving into the 25 26 season after these moves made? Well, Chris, I’m I’m very excited. Um, I I think we’ve got a team that, you know, it’s it’s going to win. We’re going to win a lot of games and it’s gonna be a lot of fun and we’ll be in the playoffs and it’s going to be great. But I must say that for the outside world of the NBA, the notion that unless you’re competing for a championship, you don’t really rate uh bothers me. This is professional basketball. It’s not uh it’s not college football where, you know, there’s only a handful of teams that compete for a championship. It’s not the NFL. This is the NBA. And if you win, in my opinion, if a team wins 50 games and secures home court in the first round of the playoffs, you’ve had an amazing season. Absolutely. And I think I think that’s where we are. I think a realistic goal for this team is to finish in the top four and win 50 or more games. Whether we get there or not, we’ll see. You know, a lot of luck, a lot of health has to come into that. But I think we’ve got the kind of ball club that can do just that if we can keep everybody healthy. If we’ve got Jaylen Johnson, Dyson, Trey, uh, Reese, Aneka, and you add in what we’ve added in, you know, for a guy like Porzingis, for Nquille Walker, Alexander Walker, for um, Luke Canard to come in and and fill that bogey roll shooting the threes off the bench. you know, the return the return of a Kobe Buffkin, uh, a guy that we really haven’t seen in two years, uh, to solidify the backup point guard position. You know, these are the kinds of things that, uh, get give you the depth to win 50 and get through the long hall of 82 games. So, I think we’re sitting in great shape. I really do. Absolutely. And one of one of the Hawks biggest moves uh this Austin to me uh was to trade in the NBA draft. And they still got the guy they wanted if that sounds familiar. Uh this sounds familiar for the Falcons. But Asa Newell, they took Asa New in the first round. Um how do you see him fit in with what the Hawks have? Even though I know they’ve needed front court help for some time. How do you feel like he fits in what the Hawks like to do? Well, I my dream scenario, and this is just me talking, I have no idea what the team is planning, but I would love to see him start the year at College Park and get a few games under his belt. Um, thinking that Porzingis will be reasonably healthy at the beginning of the year. Now, he’s playing for Latvia in Eurabasket coming up, so he’ll be he’ll be in shape and ready to go at the start of the season. And I think he’s in really good shape. uh his illness seems to be a thing of the past. Okay. But I would like Asa to get some seasoning and then bring him up and spot play him from time to time and let him let him get his feet wet. You know, uh he’s one year out of college, two years out of high school. Uh I don’t want the expectations to, you know, really get out ahead of him. But he had he had a great summer, a fantastic summer league. He’s a sponge. He’s eaten up everything we’re giving him. Uh he’s going to be ready to help this ball club. Uh I think it’ll be a gradual process. Sort of like the way they, you know, have brought Jaylen along like they brought uh Anekka along. That’s the same kind of trajectory I see for Asa Newell. I I think he’s a wonderful talent and you know he probably when all is said and done uh if he continues to improve like he has I think he could way way outperform his draft slot. You know for a kid like that at 23 uh the slot draft slot at 23 um man I I think the sky’s is the limit for him. Love it. Love it. And we’re talking about speaking of being the sky’s the limit having opposunities. Tell me how do you feel a year removed now about Dyson Daniels? Oh my god. Well, I He should have been defensive player of the year. I mean, yes. I I just it there’s such a bias toward big men. Um say it bo it has to take right. I mean, what he did was literally off the charts since they were tracking steals. He He averaged over three steals a game. That hasn’t been done since Alvin Robertson. Since they since they started tracking deflections. I mean, he lapped the whole league. He did with deflections. He took on our toughest wing assignment every night. relished the role. Yes. Loves being a defensive stopper. And now in Nquille, we got one just like him on the other side of the floor, right? Uh who who is a great three-point shooter to boot. But Dyson Daniels, I love, you know, I was listening to Tim Leggler on a podcast yesterday. Mhm. And he’s, you know, poo pooing the Hawks and uh, you know, thought we were going to underperform and he said Dyson Daniels has hit his ceiling as an offensive player. Ouch. What? What? At 22. Are you talking about at 22 years old? The quantum leap that he made from his last year in New Orleans to this year. No, I this guy, he is just he’s starting to come on strong now. And I I think he’s just going to have a world of confidence behind him this year. He’s going to not his shooting will get so much better. That’s one thing, guys, that I think really gets lost in the sauce and that’s our developmental coaches. Yes. These guys, man, I’m telling you what, when they get their hands on people, uh, the improvement you see is is second to none. You know, this staff took on Yeka from a bench guy to a starter. They took Dyson Daniels from a bench guy in New Orleans and turned him into a star defensively. And it the offense is getting better and better. And watch what happens this year to Zachary Rishet. Yep. That’s same thing. One year in one year in with the team and now he has redone his body. He looks like the Incredible Hulk and you’ll see him in Eurob Basket uh for France coming up in a couple of weeks. You won’t recognize him if you haven’t seen the pictures. And he’s going to have a breakout season. Uh look at what they did for Jaylen Johnson. I mean Oh yeah. I think Giannis, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Giannis was the only 20110 and five guy in the league last year. Absolutely. and and Dice, I mean, excuse me, Jaylen was right there before he got hurt and he only played 36 games. So, we’ve got a fantastic coaching staff. I I can’t say that enough. How good the these men and women are just tremendous. They work so hard to get these guys better. And we’ve done that. And I think I think we’re really in great shape to watch progress like Dyson, like Zack, these young guys. and wait till they get their hands on these new people and get them in the system, you know, wait till you see what Quinn and the guys do with Porzingis, with Nquille, with Luke Canard, you know, with Asa. It it’s just it’s just going to be fascinating and I can’t wait to watch it unfold. Bob, you got to let me know how the conversation between Kyle Corver and Luke Canard go because man, I know that’s going to be such a treat just to be close to, right? Spirits. Yeah, man. What you got, Smitty? Uh, we speaking of what they brought in and the move they made and how they’re, you know, I think going to transition to being a better team. Is there still one more move out there that they could make uh to add to this team to make take it to another level? Uh-huh. I, you know, I think everybody in the East would love one more big. They’re in short supply. Um, you know, and I think one of the biggest questions going into camp is is can Buffin be that backup point guard? You know, you’ve watched the Hawks every day like I do and you know that when Troy comes off the floor these past couple of years, the offense craters. I don’t think that’s going to happen this year. whether Buffkin I mean take Kobe out of the out of the mix uh with Porzingis and uh Alexander Walker and Canard and these people we’re not going to have the cratering of the offense like we had in the past. You know, beat’s still going to be a a very key component off the bench. Absolutely. But I think the I think the big question is if if Kobe can come in and be that backup point guard that they envisioned when they drafted him, man, I think that’s going to make the bench hum so Trey doesn’t have to be out there all the time. Yeah. Um I I I think that’s probably our biggest question going into camp. Can he maintain his health? Because that’s been the big thing. He’s been stayed hurt with the shoulder injuries. Sure. If he could do that, man, I I I think we got a solid ball club. And speaking of that, just just on a sidebar, side conversation, I believe that people are not giving Mohamd Gay enough credit. Basically playing in a season that he was not scheduled to play in coming out of from College Park. Now, of course, you know, people can talk about his shooting or whatnot, but again, he wasn’t necessarily supposed to play. He was kind of thrust out there due to injuries. Can you talk about like Mohamed Gay’s development and seeing how significant it was that he was not on the summer league team and how much the Atlanta Hawks must value him? Yeah, I wouldn’t read anything into the summer league at all. Uh Mo’s been around a couple of years, played a lot of basketball. You know, the staff knows what they know what they’re doing with who’s playing and who’s not. you know, they held Zachary out um because he’s playing, you know, in your basket. I I think with Mo, I think the big question is the physicality aspect. The man’s got a lot of talent. There’s no question about that. Um they moved up to draft him. Um think the world of him. And I think the big question is where do we play him that we can get the most out of him? Uh he’s not he’s not he doesn’t weigh enough uh to be a five. He just doesn’t he doesn’t have that physique but he can play the four and he can stretch at the four. Uh I think it’s a matter of development. Wouldn’t shock me to see him at College Park some uh given the depth that we have. Um, but by the same token, I think, you know, one of the toughest things for young people in the league that don’t have uh that many games played under their belts is when you’re on a good deep team, how do you get minutes? How do you develop your game? Great question. when you got a bunch of guys in front of you who are, you know, solidly entrenched in the rotation. I the hardest thing to do in a league is stay ready as a bench guy. I mean, oh yeah, that is that is the hardest thing to do because you don’t know if you’re going to get five minutes or 15 or 25 and how do you stay ready? So, I think that’s one of the big challenges from Bo, but he’s a valued member of this rotation for sure. beats the same thing. You know, how’s he going to be able to carve out time uh in that rotation because with Buffkin back opportunities to be a ball handler and a playmaker are sort of reduced, but you know, where’s he going to fit in? So, these are problems you’d love to have because you you got too many guys for for not enough minutes and that that’s a good problem to have, but that’s what gets you through the 82. You know, guys are going to get hurt, guys are going to get sick. you know, you’re gonna need to be ready and stay ready because that’s that’s the 82 game season. You know, it’s coming. So, that’s why you want to have uh as much depth as you possibly can and as much shooting off that bench. Sort of like baseball, you know, you can’t have enough pitching. Well, it’s the same thing in the NBA. You can’t have enough shooting. You’re right. Right. Okay. Bob, I feel like we’ve warmed up enough. I know you’ve been hearing the reports. I know you’ve been seeing uh Winhurst. I know you’ve been probably hearing maybe Spears lately. There’s a there’s uh uh the tabloids are talking about Trey Young right now and the reports the reports are about his extension. I don’t have to get all the way into it. I know you know about it by now. Um what Hawks fans are wanting to know, how confident should they be about the Hawks front office making this deal get done? 1,000%. Okay, now I wouldn’t worry. I don’t lose a second of sleep thinking about the front office with Anie and Quinn. I’m I let them handle their business. I 100%. Listen, this thing, okay, kind of takes a life of its own. He’s a star. He’s seeing other guys in his draft class or other extension eligible players get deals done. But remember, he’s got a player option for next season. Absolutely. For 26 27 that changes things. You know, you got him for two more years. And if you sign him, I believe if I if I correct me if I’m wrong, but I think if he waits, he can get even more money next summer. Oh, he can. So, most definitely. You know, I Trey is not going anywhere and I think they’ll get it done. Um, it wouldn’t shock me if they did it before this season. I I just don’t worry about that stuff because I have total faith and confidence in Trey, his representation in Anie, in Quinn. I don’t worry about it for one second. You hear to hear Hawks fans, you heard it here. And my thing is, Bob, guys, I have I have no inside information. I have no idea what they’re talking about. But I, as a Hawks fan, and I say this to you guys, and I say it to all Hawks fans that are listening, don’t worry about it. Don’t pay attention to social media. Don’t pay attention to, you know, the Mark Spears of the world and everybody that thinks they know everything, Brian Worst, and all the rest of them. Don’t just just let it go. Take the scenic route. Let it go in one ear and out the other. Ah, I love it. Love the Let me tell you something. Let me tell you about Winhorst. All right. Uh oh, go ahead. So they so they they start doing their Eastern Conference preview just to show you how much he thinks about the Hawks. They’re doing their Eastern Conference preview. Well, we’re going to take the teams, you know, he’s with Bon Temps and McMahon. We’re going to take the teams in alphabetical order. Okay, let’s start Boston. So he gonna skip all over Atlanta. Alphabetical order. What about Atlanta? Boy, you said he missed the whole letter. What’s what he got going? A is ahead of B, right, in the alphabet. So, take scenic route in one ear, out, out the other. Absolutely. And the crazy thing about that, the Hawks played Boston very well last year. That should tell him something. Oh, yeah. Hey, listen. If Katon Wallace doesn’t have the game of his life in Boston, we don’t make the cup, right? Absolutely. Because that game ended up being the tiebreaker in our group. Celtics were three and one. We were three in one. Absolutely. And if we don’t win that game in Boston, we don’t go to we don’t have a chance to go to New York and and beat the Knicks and go to Vegas. So, every game matters. Uh everybody’s going to be counted on. Um, I mean, you guys know this. I’m not telling you anything you guys don’t know, but I mean it’s it’s uh it’s amazing how people on the outside think they know more about what’s going on than the people on the inside. And it’s um it’s always amused me. Yeah. Like if they’re so smart, why didn’t if they’re so smart, why didn’t they see Lucas trade coming to the Lakers? That’s facts. Did you hear any of them say before? No. That came out of nowhere. in the middle of the night. Most people had already went to bed, then all of a sudden they woke up to Correct. Correct. So I, you know, hey, listen, those guys got a job to do. I understand. But I just chuckle, you know, they you can’t you cannot know more. and and probably and I’m guessing, but I would say the vast majority of the information that they quote unquote report on is fed to them by the agents. Absolutely. Absolutely. 100%. And they have a vested interest in getting that story out for their clients. So, you just you have to take all this with a grain of salt. You really do. Facts. Um, as we head into the upcoming season, what we’ve done, like I’ve said, like we’ve talked about already, uh, with the move they made, I feel like the roster has gotten a lot better. I don’t think we I think we’re much better than a, uh, play in tournament team right now. I see us as a top five team uh, in the East. What do you think about that? Well, you know, let’s play um, let’s see. I you know obviously um the East is going to be down because three big stars are gone. Yes. Yes. Tatum, Hallebertton, and Lillard are not in the East this year and won’t be all season. So that makes a difference. That said, Indiana’s not going to stop winning. Boston’s not going to stop winning. They may not be elite 60 wins, stuff like that, but they didn’t they’re not they just play. Do you think the Indiana Pacers forgot how to win? Nope. They got a taste of it and they’re going to come back stronger. They get Isaiah Jackson back. They they they’re ready to go. I mean, and it’s going to be a for Milwaukee, Indiana, Boston. It’s going to be a challenge because all they’ve heard all summer is, “Oh, you guys stink now. You know, you’re not going to be as good. Boston got rid of, you know, Tatum’s hurt. They got rid of Holiday. They got rid of for Stop it. The ones who are there are getting more minutes and they cannot wait to get on the floor to show what they can do. You think Peyton Pritchard it, he cannot wait to get out there.” Yeah. Yeah. No, seriously. And they went and got with uh Anthony Simons. You don’t think he’s going to get something? Jaylen Brown is going to get more attention as the feature guy now. These guys want to stick it to everybody that’s saying they can’t win. So, when you talk about the Hawks, will we be top five? I I think so. I think we’re a top six team, but it’s got to come together. It is. You know, these guys have got to play together. Let’s give it let’s all shake hands and we will reconvene after 20 games and let’s see what it looks like because after Lenny Wilkins taught me this. Lenny said wait 20 games before you make any judgment on any team good or bad good or bad because you have to play enough games that your team gets used to one another. They have to go through the fires of home, road, back to backs, travel, right? Right. All that. Who gets dinged up? Who doesn’t get dinged up? Yep. And that’s the same with all these other teams. You know, everybody’s like, ain’t the thing about the East with these injuries and after Cleveland did a face plant in the playoffs and New York made a ridiculous coaching change. The thing about it is ain’t nobody scared of nobody in the East. Thanks. Nobody’s scared of Nobody’s scared of Cleveland. Nobody’s scared of the Knicks. Nobody’s scared of, you know, Orlando and all these teams. They’re just not, which makes it great because the competition is going to be fantastic and tier. The games are going to be meaningful right out of the gate. So, you ask me, are we top five? I don’t know. I think so. But let’s let’s see how let’s see how these guys fit in together. I think we’re going to be really good. I do. I think I think a worthy goal for this team is to finish top four and win 50. Whether we get there or not is another story, but I think that’s a reasonable goal for this group to get in the race. We’re not going to be in no playin tournament next year. That’s right. That’s that’s we going to make we going to be in the playoffs. I’m I feel 100% confident of that because listen, we got we have three clubs behind us that are going to be awful. I mean, Brooklyn and Washington, they’ve already phoned it in for next year. I mean, they, you know, they’re get Washington got these vets to bring in and help the clubhouse. Well, Smart’s already gone, right? I mean, you know, they haven’t even gone to training camp yet. So, you got Brooklyn, you got Washington, you know, Charlotte, I’m having a hard time gauging. I think they’ll be better, but better for them is probably 30 wins, you know, maybe 35. So, we got we got some clubs behind us. Chicago, you know, are they are they a playing team? No. History shows they’re probably finish around, you know, 10th, ninth, somewhere in there. So, absolutely. I I think we’re I think we’re in the top half for sure. And and I think if we have a really good year, uh top six is doable. Absolutely. Okay. I got a question for you. Now, you got to choose only one, but if there was a storyline that you could highlight for this upcoming season, would it be player growth, depth, contributions, or let’s say the emerging emerging chemistry under coach Schneider? I would say health. Ah, I like it. I I think that’s the biggest key for this team. We’ve got to have Listen, we didn’t have Jaylen Johnson for over half the season. We still won 40 games. Yeah, we did. If you give Quinn a healthy ball club, and by health, I mean no major injuries. So that means we have Trey, we have Dyson, we have Zack, we have Jaylen, we have Anaka, we have Porzingis, we have Nquille Alexander Walker, we have Luke Canard, we have Asa Newell, who who am I forgetting? uh got feet feet the core guys. If our core 10 can stay reasonably healthy, then I think all those things you talked about are doable. But in the NBA today, if your frontline guys go down, it’s hard to fix it. It’s hard to make trades. It’s hard to It’s hard with a cap, you know, to uh to fix it. So, I think I that’s my one wish. We stay healthy. I’ll take my chances with this group against anybody. Anybody. I’m with you, Bob. It’s 10 toes down. We beat them all. We beat them all last year. We beat them all. How many times we beat Cleveland? How many times we beat Boston? How many times we beat New York? Absolutely. We can play with these guys. We just have to have our guys, right? Facts. But uh Bob, man, we want to thank you for stopping through to talk with us right quick. Uh we know you have a busy busy schedule and we look forward to uh working with you all season with the Hawks and uh we will definitely reach back out and see could you come back on and talk with us? Uh but Chris, you had another question. Uh yeah, I just had one thing, one last thing for Bob. Could you please just like let people know about any projects you have coming up outside of the Atlanta Hawks? anything that you’re involved in that you want the people to know or get it out there, please, by all means, the floor is yours. Sure. Uh, I just finished my summer uh basketball. I cover the basketball tournament, which is the $1 million winner take all tournament. Just concluded last weekend on Fox. So, that was a good three-week run. U, but I don’t really have anything coming up until uh Hawk season begins now. But, uh, what I would encourage our fans to do is that we’re going to have so many events coming up in the community. Uh, make sure that you are dialed in to Hawks social media. Uh, I repost all of it, but make sure if you’re Streamyard, Streamyard. I’m like at the worst time. Come on now. and different things that we have between now and training camp. And then once the exhibition season begins and we got games coming back at at State Farm Arena, preseason schedule will be out soon. Regular season schedule will be out soon. Uh take advantage. You know, a lot of this stuff is open to the public, you know, like our our scrimmage at the arena and camp. Uh I think it’s five buck donation to the Hawk Foundation to come on down and be a part of it. We want to interact with our fans. We want them there for everything that we do. And so, make sure you dialed into social media and get first notification about what’s coming up. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. You heard it here, Hawks fans. Make sure y’all are tapped in and, you know, tapping in with everything that the Atlanta Hawks have going on for us Atlanta Hawks fans to interact with team, see these guys. Man, it’s going to be an exciting season. I’m telling you, I want you tuned in and turned on. That’s what I want. Right. Right. And uh the energy is just different in the city right now when you talk about the Hawk the Hawks, the Falcons. I know the Braves having a tough season, but we still going to support those guys 100%. Yep. And we got to get our Falcons off to a good start. Right. Right. Right. Right. You know, hey, the one thing you you know, fans, they ride the wave and that’s understandable. But when you talk to Hawks players, it’s amazing how they root unabashedly for the Falcons, the Braves, Atlanta United, cuz they know how much it means to play here in front of these fans and they want the best for everybody because they want them rooting for the Hawks. And so we’re all in this together. We’re all rooting for all of our teams. And yeah, Braves have had a tough summer. No doubt about it. But and United’s had probably a worse summer, but you know what? It happens. But the Hawks are on the rise. Falcons are on the rise. We’re going to have a good fall and a good winter. Can’t wait.
