Giving a one-sentence review to every player on the Atlanta Hawks this season.
We just passed the four-month anniversary of the NBA suspending their season due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Atlanta Hawks haven’t played a game in over 120 days.
While we have mostly focused on the Hawks’ off-season on this site, it’s still good to look back and see how each player did for the team in the 2019-2020 season. To put a fun wrinkle on the usual season reviews/grades, I’ve written a one-sentence season review for ALL 21 PLAYERS who suited up for the team this year. Really.
One-sentence season reviews for the 2019-2020 Atlanta Hawks:
DeAndre’ Bembry:
Shooting 23 percent from three and losing a step on defense in a contract year is a bold strategy, let’s see how it pays off.
Charlie Brown:
A two-way player who rarely played in Atlanta but excelled in the G-League while suffering through countless jokes at the expense of his name – Good Grief!
Vince Carter:
Played just about the best you can expect a 43-year-old to.
John Collins:
The 25-game suspension really cast a cloud over his season, and he could have competed for an All-Star appearance if he stayed on the court.
Allen Crabbe:
The best of the veterans added in the 2019 off-season.

Dewayne Dedmon:
Superman man has kryptonite, Dewayne Dedmon has Sacramento.
Bruno Fernando:
Looked like a stud one night and a high-schooler the next.
Brandon Goodwin:
Broke free of his two-way status with a few breakout performances but Lloyd Pierce stopped playing him down the stretch.
Treveon Graham:
Consistently showed effort that was appreciated after seeing a few other players on this list jog around the court.
Kevin Huerter:
Did nagging injuries hinder his development or did he peak as a rookie?
De’Andre Hunter:
Good, but not 4th overall pick good.
Damian Jones:
A slight disappointment who still provided some of the team’s best highlights with his athletic dunks.
Alex Len:
Probably the best defender on the team in the first half of the season.
Jabari Parker:
Fine, but I don’t think any fans were too beaten up when he was traded.
Chandler Parsons:
Played five games for the Hawks but I have literally no recollection of seeing him play.
Cam Reddish:
Terrible at first, great at the end, a bit of both in the middle.
Jeff Teague:
Did the novelty of seeing him back in a Hawks uniform cloud fans judgment of his actual play?
Evan Turner:
(This is who I was hinting towards in the Treveon Graham one).
Tyrone Wallace:
He wasn’t horrible, but he also made an impressive audition tape for The Invisible Man sequel in some games.
Paul Watson:
Played 17 minutes for the Hawks on a 10-day contract, scored zero points on seven shots.
Trae Young:
I’m glad Trae Young was last on this list, as you see just how little talent the All-Star had next to him.
