16 Most underrated and overrated Heat rivals heading into the 2024-25 NBA season

Atlanta Hawks

Underrated: Jalen Johnson

Should he maintain the progress in his performance that many anticipate, Jalen Johnson is poised to gain increasing recognition throughout the league in the coming year. As a formidable two-way player, Johnson experienced a significant breakthrough season with the Atlanta Hawks last year. He is expected to develop his skills further and should be regarded as a crucial foundational element as the team shifts towards a new trajectory.

Overrated: Trae Young

I have a different opinion about Trae Young's current trade value, but I must admit that he might be somewhat overrated at this point in his career. Despite his impressive offensive skills, he has struggled to turn his individual performances into wins for the Atlanta Hawks.

It's concerning that the team hasn't shown much improvement since adding Dejounte Murray. It will be interesting to see how the Hawks handle Young in the future, especially now that it's clear they no longer see him as the franchise player.
