Interesting. I went back to look at mine. The Hawks are largely the same team (Young, Collins, Hunter, etc) plus Vucevic at center. Here's how they've fared:
19-20: 12th (31-51)
20-21: 5th (50-32)
21-22: 13th (33-49)
22-23: 5th (45-37)
23-24: 5th (46-36)

So while they've been respectable, they are mostly stuck in no man's land and have never been able to compete with Milwaukee, Philly, Brooklyn, and Boston. And if you have great players, you should never be 12th or 13th in the conference.
