of my dallas mavericks my nba series is out now going over the first round of the playoffs so go check that out and watch the series if you haven't yet okay on with the bold predictions after a mountain of self-promo first the hawks are the third seed in the east and trey young is a top three mvp candidate the hawks last year after they moved on from their terrible coach and higher net mcmillan went on a NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN run to close the season which was good for a NUMBER_TOKEN win percentage which if applied to a full NUMBER_TOKEN game regular season would have been NUMBER_TOKEN wins so you can make the logical leap that a full season underneath would result in a NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN win season for the atlanta hawks not only because he proved to be effective in the regular season last year but add on to it that they're going to have a training camp this year and it's a full year of extra chemistry a full year of more understanding of the system uh the fact that deandre hunter could be coming back and potentially have a huge impact as he was good in the minutes he played last year but he was just constantly injured and you see there's really a formula here for the hawks to be quite the team next year and as for trey he of course is going to be the main catalyst for their offensive success and if he puts up the crazy tray numbers that we know trey is more than capable of doing like let's say NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN on good efficiency then there's more than enough reason to believe that if he put up those numbers alongside the hawks being a borderline NUMBER_TOKEN win team and bare minimum the third seed in the eastern conference that he would be having his name in the mvp conversation even then i don't think he'd win it but even getting top three in that discussion i think is completely within the realm of possibility the nuggets are the second best team in the west and the biggest threat to the lakers to make the finals now i need to clarify the threat of the gate that i do not necessarily mean record wise because record is not always an indicator of what the best team is look at like the celtics in NUMBER_TOKEN for example i imagine the lakers the jazz and even the phoenix suns will probably have a better win record than the denver nuggets will especially being that jamal murray is going to be out for a majority of the year however when jamal does come back presumably around march or april and he's able to get adapted to the system come playoff time and everyone else is healthy of course and they are able to build their chemistry then this team i think can steamroll just about anybody outside of the top of the top teams mpj i expect to take a huge scoring leap he averaged NUMBER_TOKEN on NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN splits after jamal got hurt last year and i think paired with yokicha's play making he can do something similar over a full season another factor is aaron gordon after getting a g on top of jamal murray being healthy for the first nine games that they were able to play together before jamal tore his acl they went seven and two and looked
