[Rowland] Something I’ll get into more on Locked On Hawks during the break but… The Hawks have gotten WRECKED with Jalen Johnson off the floor over the last month. -14.3 net rating in 260 min and dreadful on both ends. Similarly terrible (not quite as bad) without Dyson Daniels.
February 12, 2026
Jalen (and Dyson somewhat) is singlehandedly holding up this dogshit roster.

All I know is that we went from midlanta with hopes of turning that corner, to midlanta with hopes of a top 3 pick 😂
Its almost like we need another competent ballhandler who is an awesome passer and playmaker. I sure wish we could have found one somewhere…
this is also on Quin , cause nobody else passes other than them 2 . which is why if smart Hawks would develop Zacc into point forward as well but doesnt get the reps
Man we got so lucky with Jalen. We’re super cooked if he doesn’t fall to 20. Also I hope we get flemings so Jalen gets more spacing in clutch time
I’m interested to see how they run Kuminga. I feel like he may be the bridge between the first second unit type guy. I know this year is kind of eh because of roster turnover. But it will be nice to see what he can do, and if it sticks we could bring him back in next year along with retooling the roster to better fit around Jalen
Rekt with him on it too
Well maybe after All Star Jalen will see more time on the floor.
sounds like the same story from the past 8 years

Found a star to pair with our star only to trade our star so now we need a star to pair with our star

This fanbase still insists of pushing the narrative that his defense is our biggest problem🫩
As long as Ressler is making big profits I’m fine with the team sucking.Â
I want the Hawks to move up from #7 on the list of most profitable pro sports franchises.
If we can be #7 while hovering around .500, imagine what would happen if we cut some salary!
Team is worse without its two best players. Who knew?
