Offense — The Bad
- Points per game: 107.9 (23rd)
The fact that we’re playing with the fastest pace in the league but averaging the 23rd most points is… disconcerting.
- Field goal percentage: 44.2 (26th)
- Offensive rating (essentially measures efficiency of expected points per possession): 101.1 (29th)
- Assist-to-Turnover Ratio: 1.35 (29th)
Trae’s made highlight-caliber passes all season, but has had problems with turnovers as well. Individually, his AST/TO number is 1.78. Fellow rookie Kevin Huerter leads the team at 2.12. Who’s really struggling here that shouldn’t be? Taurean Prince is the main culprit, as he has the second-lowest number on the team at 0.89.
- Turnover percentage: 17.1 (30th)
First and second-year players turn the ball over a lot, that’s true. But there are a lot of young teams in the league, and the Atlanta Hawks are out-pacing all of them by ending over 17 percent of their possessions in a turnover. Yikes.
Let’s examine where they shape up on the other end of the floor.
