Well, lemme tell you, I done heard folks talkin’ ’bout this hawks depth chart thing. Sounds like a whole lotta fancy words for somethin’ simple, if you ask me. It’s like when they started puttin’ them satellites in the sky. Back in my day, we just looked up to see if it was gonna rain. Now they got all these gizmos to tell ya the same thing. Anyway, this depth chart, it’s just who’s on that Atlanta Hawks team, ain’t it?
These Hawks, they’re a basketball team, right? Flyin’ around, jumpin’ and shootin’ that ball. My grandson, bless his heart, he’s glued to that TV when they play. Yellin’ and screamin’ like a banshee. I tell him to settle down before he wakes the whole darn house. This hawks depth chart, seems like it’s important to them that follow the basketball.
So, I reckon this hawks depth chart, it’s like a list. A list of them players. Like when I make my grocery list, ‘cept instead of taters and beans, it’s got names like, uh, Trae Young. That’s one of ’em, right? Heard my grandson talkin’ ’bout him. He can sure shoot that ball. And then there’s another one, uh, Dejounte Murray? I don’t recall that many of them.
- Trae Young – He’s the big one, I reckon.
- Dejounte Murray – My grandson says he is good too.
- Some other fellas, big and tall, I guess.
They got different fellas for different jobs, I suppose. Like on a farm, you got your plow horse and your milk cow. Different jobs, different critters. Same with this hawks depth chart, I bet. You got your starters, the ones who play the most. They are like the plow horses. Then there are the ones who sit on that bench a lot, and they wait until the starters are done. Like when we switch to a different team when working on the farm.
And they probably got some young’uns comin’ up, learnin’ the ropes. Just like my boy learnin’ to milk the cow. Takes time and practice, ya know? This whole hawks depth chart, it changes all the time too, don’t it? Players get hurt, or they go to another team. Like when a storm comes and you lose some crops. Gotta plant new ones next year, right?
I heard them talkin’ on the radio about somethin’ called a “draft.” Sounds like a cold wind if you ask me. But they said it’s how these teams get new players. They pick ’em out like pickin’ apples from a tree. The best ones go first, I reckon. And that changes the hawks depth chart. The one they talked about this year was Zaccharie Risacher or somethin’ like that. I reckon he’s a good one, to be picked first.
This Zaccharie fella, he probably gonna be on that hawks depth chart now, huh? And some other fella, maybe he won’t be there no more. It’s all a big shuffle, like a deck of cards. Keeps things interestin’, I suppose. Keeps my grandson glued to that TV, that’s for sure.
They even got numbers for these fellas on this hawks depth chart. Like how many points they score, how many times they grab that ball after it bounces off that backboard. Lots of numbers. More numbers than I can count on my fingers and toes. But folks like to keep track of that kinda thing, I guess. Just like we keep track of the amount of eggs and the money we get from them at the market.
There is also this thing called player stats, I think it is a part of this depth chart thing. Stats is short for statistics. It is like keeping track of the numbers, like counting how many baskets the players score. The hawks depth chart has these stats for each player. They keep a count of each player and put it all together. They make it to be a big deal. I guess it is for some folks.
And somethin’ called “cap hit.” Now, that sounds like somethin’ you’d wear on your head. But I reckon it’s got to do with money. How much these players get paid, I guess. They probably make more in a year than I’ve seen in my whole life. Good for them, I say. They work hard, runnin’ up and down that court. It ain’t easy, ya know? And this cap hit thing, it’s probably important for the folks who own the team. Gotta keep track of the money, just like I gotta keep track of how much feed I buy for my chickens. This is probably the most important part of the hawks depth chart. If they don’t make money, they don’t have a team.
So, this hawks depth chart, it’s just a list of players, with all their numbers and how much money they make. It changes all the time, like the weather. And it’s important to folks who follow that basketball team. Not so important to me, but I can see why some folks get all riled up about it. It’s their team, after all. They probably got the shirts and the hats and everything. Just like a sports fan, I reckon.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about this hawks depth chart. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t exactly simple either. It’s just basketball. And basketball, like life, is full of ups and downs, comin’s and goin’s. Just gotta roll with the punches, I always say. And if you love that team, you’ll follow that depth chart like a hawk, I reckon.
