Atlanta's John Collins and Trae Young Selected To FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1/29/19 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA’S JOHN COLLINS AND TRAE YOUNG SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN 2019 MTN DEW ICE RISING STARS Collins leads 2017 NBA Draft class with 19 double-doubles, one-of-eight players averaging 19.5 points/10 rebounds; Young leads Eastern Conference rookies in points, assists, steals, double-doubles and 30-point games ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks second-year forward/center John Collins and rookie guard Trae Young were selected as participants in the 2019 MTN DEW ICE Rising Stars on Friday, Feb. 15 at 9 p.m. ET, it was announced today. Collins, the No. 19 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, leads all sophomores in double-doubles (19) and has two separate six- game double-double streaks this season. The Wake Forest product is averaging 19.5 points and 10.0 rebounds this season, making him one of just eight players posting at least 19.5 points and 10.0 boards in 2018-19. The big man is shooting .595 from the field this season, 7th in the NBA and the second-best mark of all-time among second-year players to average at least 19 points and 10 rebounds per contest (Shaquille O’Neal – .599 in 1993-94). Collins posted 11 double-doubles in 12 December contests, averaging 21.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. He became the second Hawks player ever to average at least 21.0 points and 12.5 rebounds in a month (Kevin Willis twice) and the first Atlanta player with a 20-point/10-rebound month since Paul Millsap in December 2013. On 1/23 at Chicago, Collins tallied a career-high 35 points (career-best 14 FGM, career-high-tying four 3FGM, 3-3 FTs) in 29 minutes. He became the third player since 1979-80 to record at least 35 points, 14 FGM, eight rebounds and four three-pointers in less than 30 minutes, joining Larry Bird in 1986 and Stephen Curry in 2017. Young has started each of Atlanta’s 49 games this season and leads all first-year players in assists per game (7.3) – good for 7th in the NBA – and sits atop the Eastern Conference rookie leaderboard in points per game (16.4), steals per game (0.88), double-doubles (14), 30-point games (two) and free throws made (167) this season. The University of Oklahoma product was named the Kia NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for November after a three-game stretch with at least 10 points and 10 assists in each contest to open the month. Young’s current averages of 16.4 points and 7.3 assists per game would place him alongside Chris Paul (2005-06) and John Wall (2010-11) as the only rookies to post at least 16.0 points and 7.0 assists in a season since 1997-98. The No. 5 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Young lays claim to 14-of-the-20 contests rookies have posted with at least 10 assists this season, including six-of-the-10 games in which a first-year player has recorded at least 20 points and 10 assists. Through 13 contests in January, Young is averaging 18.4 points, 7.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game. From Jan. 26-28, Young became the first NBA rookie to record two consecutive contests with at least 26 points, 10 field goals made and eight assists since Stephen Curry in 2010, per the Elias Sports Bureau. In his third professional game, the University of Oklahoma product scored 35 points and dished out 11 assists in a 133- 111 win at Cleveland on Oct. 21. The effort made Young the first player to record a 35-point/11-assist game within the first 10 contests of his career and paired him with Steph Curry (2/10/10) as the only rookies ever with 35 points, 11 assists and six 3FGM in a single game. Collins and Young will become the second pair of Hawks teammates to participate in the annual showdown in two years, as Collins teamed with Taurean Prince in last season’s contest. # TrueToAtlanta # .

This is especially relevant and corresponds to the Warriors back-to-back championships and their rise from an overlooked team to one of the most popular teams in the National Basketball League (NBA). According to Forbes, the Warriors have gone from NBA obscurity to the third most valuable team in the NBA. The objective of this research is to prove the importance of both physical prowess and business savvy in the sports world to become truly successful as a professional franchise.

  • The Maturation of Russell Westbrook
    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.

  • Hawks' Trio Headlines Reserves for 2015 Nba All
    HAWKS’ TRIO HEADLINES RESERVES FOR 2015 NBA ALL-STAR GAME -- Duncan Earns 15 th Selection, Tied for Third Most in All-Star History -- NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2015 – Three members of the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks -- Al Horford , Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague -- headline the list of 14 players selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, the NBA announced today. Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors earned his first All-Star selection, joining teammate and starter Stephen Curry to give the Western Conference-leading Warriors two All-Stars for the first time since Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway in 1993. The 64 th NBA All-Star Game will tip off Sunday, Feb. 15, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The game will be seen by fans in 215 countries and territories and will be heard in 47 languages. TNT will televise the All-Star Game for the 13th consecutive year, marking Turner Sports' 30 th year of NBA All- Star coverage. The Hawks’ trio is joined in the East by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving . This is the 11 th consecutive All-Star selection for Wade and the 10 th straight nod for Bosh, who becomes only the third player in NBA history to earn five trips to the All-Star Game with two different teams (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Garnett). Butler, who leads the NBA in minutes (39.5 per game) and has raised his scoring average from 13.1 points in 2013-14 to 20.1 points this season, makes his first All-Star appearance.

  • A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball
    A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball Darshan Chakrabarti and Rishav Dutta (darshanc and rishavd) 1 Overview Each of the 30 teams in the NBA play 82 games a season (and then top teams participate in the playoffs which progress towards the championship). Typically, coaches and other team personnel analyze tapes of past games and statistics to try to understand deficiencies that a team has and understand vunerable points of the other team. We want to make suggestions for strategies for teams to adopt that can be backed quantitatively, so that teams can try to achieve the optimal outcome. 2 Problem Statement Given the current game state, what is the optimal strategy for the offensive team and the defensive team to adopt. For example, consider a matchup between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors with their starting line-ups on the court: James Harden, Chris Paul, Nene, P.J. Tucker, Clint Capela for the Rockets and Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and DeMarcus Cousins for the Warriors, and James Harden has the ball. What is the optimal strategy for the Rockets? Potential options could be to pass to Chris Paul for a three pointer or Harden could just shoot himself. In order to minimize the potential outcome, the Warriors may choose to assign their best defender to the player most likely to shoot from the Rockets (Klay Thompson on Chris Paul) or they could play aggressive defense on James Harden to prevent him from passing or shooting. Finding the optimal strategy may allow teams to perform better during games.
