Snubbed? The Hawks players who missed ESPN’s Top 100 list

ESPN released its annual NBA Top 100 list ahead of the upcoming season, featuring four Atlanta Hawks players. Jalen Johnson ranked highest among them at No. 22, followed by Nickeil Alexander-Walker at No. 41, CJ McCollum at No. 87, and Lu Dort at No. 100. However, Hawks contributors Onyeka Okongwu and Dyson Daniels were both omitted from the rankings.

Okongwu missed the list despite averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game while shooting 37.6 percent from 3-point range in 31.0 minutes per game. Daniels was also excluded despite posting career highs in rebounds and assists while providing strong perimeter defense for Atlanta.
