The Atlanta Hawks Need to Unleash Their Secret Weapon

The Atlanta Hawks are out getting ragdolled by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. They took one game on a last-second shot by Trae Young but outside of that narrow victory, they appear to be a college team being dominated by a group of grown-ass men.

But there is a secret weapon sitting on the end of their bench and if they want to win the chip, it’s time to break glass. It’s an emergency.

Former Knickstank legend, Kevin Knox, has outscored Trae Young in TWO different games this series.

Yes, it sounds crazy considering I am having an extremely difficult time even finding a photo of Kevin Knox in an Atlanta Hawks jersey but I am having an even more difficult time watching the Hawks take the worst shots and brick them all.

Last season, Trae Young had defenses in shambles with his unstoppable pick and rolls forcing the opposing big man to double team him thus leading to the easiest lobs ever. But there are zero easy buckets against this Miami Heat team. Trae is electing to settle for terrible chucks from the logo because it’s the only part of the court he can get a little space to his shot off.

You know who can get their shit off easily? Kevin. Knox.

No one on the Heat will suspect his incoming dominance. He scored 12 points in 4 minutes last game. Miami probably doesn’t even have his name listed on the scouting report. Also, I’m fairly certain Atlanta doesn’t have a scouting report on Kevin Knox either.

He is the ultimate secret weapon. He can shoot the lights out and has the size to potentially be a strong perimeter defender. Atlanta needs a guy like Knox, or at least what Knox has the potential to become.

Plus, Meg Thee Stallion already predicted his future:
