Jalen Johnson recently earned Player of the Week honors for the Eastern Conference, and for good reason. Atlanta’s versatile wing has been showcasing his immense potential in a major way. During the week he won the award, Johnson averaged 24.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game. The Atlanta Hawks are currently 9-5 and sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. With Johnson’s strong play to start the season, don’t be surprised if the Hawks continue to make noise in their conference. Additionally, if he maintains this level of performance, Johnson could very well secure his first All-Star appearance.
